A Rich History
The autoharp has a fascinating history that dates back to the 19th century. Originally designed as a tool for music education, it quickly gained popularity for its sweet, resonant sound and user-friendly design. The instrument features a series of strings stretched across a wooden body, which are strummed while pressing down on felt-covered chords. This simple yet effective mechanism makes it accessible to players of all ages and skill levels.
As the autoharp evolved, it found its way into various musical genres, including folk, country, and bluegrass. Iconic artists have embraced the autoharp, helping to shape its reputation as a beloved instrument. At Auto Harp Quarterly, we honor this history by sharing stories, profiles, and insights into the musicians who have contributed to the autoharp’s legacy.
