I love this... Love all your content actually. Would love to see more "how its made". I just got a 15 chord autoharp and really want a 21 chord. Gotta learn to play first lol. Great work.
@@flavedereus4928 well a 21 chord as opposed to a 15 chord could allow you to play 5 more chords. But mostly because nearly every RUclipsr plays on a 21 chord and not 15 chord. So following along to videos would be easier. Not only that but rearranging the chord bars to your desired playing position would be much easier. The 15 chord has narrower longer buttons. The 21 chord has flat round buttons. Easier for me to press. There are a multitude of reasons to have a 21 chord over a 15. In my opinion 🤷🏼
@@JoshuaHastey I agree to the chord bar button part. I used to have an OS 21 autoharp which I sold after getting a Japanese made 15 chord Chromaharp which sounds better than the OS. But the possibility of simply deattaching buttons from the bars was nice on the OS. But making the bars easy to press on a 15 is not difficult, simply lower the action by putting felt under the cover plates of the chord bar chambers. One can also add some tape on the end sides of the bars which will take away any unwanted movement.
Fascinating! Such interesting machines. I really appreciate a deeper insight into the construction of auto harps. Your video fleshes out what I have learned from reading and diagrams. I thought that shop looked like a noisy place in your first video when no one was there. I had no trouble understanding your explanations and the machine noise actually adds to my understanding of the manufacturing process. I hope you are using ear plugs CONSTANTLY when you are working in that place.
Anne Callaway and face-masks! Not being worn here, but should be with sanding machines like this (or anything going to 'throw off' wood chips / dust. Love CNC routers but messy, even with suction, which this one has.) V interesting to see the production process though.
Well done Hal. Really decent "filming" and even with my noise-trouble-hearing, I can hear and understand every word without problem. Especially good to see Pete's process. As with most things, the more I understand, the more I appreciate what is being done.
Can you please share the details about the standered size of the instrument and what should be the standered size of strings for the tuned it in proper scale
ModelT08 most of it is sucked away by a huge sawdust removal system...you can see the hose in the lower left of frame. If the dust is bad we have masks....also ear and eye protection.

Very impressive machinery. Fascinating to watch a harp’s creation.
Thanks, that is amazing.

What would be the point of having 21 chords, in your view?

Talk to Pete Daigle at autoharp.com
@@wildautoharp thank you so much
that's a lot of dust generated for no mask... poor bastard
