Guys,

I know this is a guitar forum but many of you dabble in a lot of different instruments. We have had a client who plays many different instruments request a high end autoharp with a lot of bells and whistles. Anyone have a plan that can be copied that they can and would share? We may have to purchase one and reverse engineer if we can't find a plan. This particular client is wanting a lot of unusual things on this instrument including some design changes.

Thanks,

Kevin

Have you checked out GAL (luth.org). If memory serves they have an autoharp plan. I know I have seen one somewhere.
