Autoharp Question

[dubois]

Just acquired an unexpected / used Autoharp (Oscar Schmidt).  It  was part of an estate sale and seller didnt know too much about it....neither do I (smile).

 

Ok, I admit it...it was a spur of the moment purchase, but I like its sound.  And with all the new songs the society has been creating recently...I felt  inspired.

 

Been checking online for any info on how to turn it on (wink ...smile) / play it / tune it / etc...and not having a lot of success.   What to play isnt a problem, thanks to the lead sheets and  sheet music ...even our upcoming new song book, all on JW.Org.  Im just not sure how to begin.

 

Anyone have any of instructions / tips / tricks / advise / etc  they can share?

My late Grand-uncle Ewart would have suggested "All Through The Night" be played, but then he was Welsh after all!
