Dusty Old Autoharp
Autoharp from the 1800's sampled in many varieties.

The story
I’ve used this old Autoharp from the late 1800’s on countless recordings though I never got around to sampling it. I plucked , E-bowed, reversed and used an actual bow. It is super raw and has lots of strange sonic artifacts that I love. “Autoharp With Ensemble Pad” is a multi featuring everything!
Pianobook has motivated me to capture some of my more eclectic instruments I have lying around. I may be re-locating back to L.A. for a stretch, and won’t be able to take all these old gems with me. Well, I kind of can!
