ReFelting a autoharp chord bar.

[@bostonpicker6890]

Thank You! This tutorial is so clear! You make it look so easy! It probably isn’t for us newbies but with practice I’m guessing it gets better.

@waynedavies3185 0 seconds ago I've have an autoharp where the felt was not put on properly. When played, it plays notes that it shouldn't be playing. Of course the harp needs re-felting properly with the right strings allowed to sing out. I have treid to find a document that shows the right notes to leave open and sing for each cord on a 21 cord harp and which are supposed to be dampened with each cord. One cannot trust taking apart a harps cord bars that the old felt was cut incorrectly. Is there a document that shows all the proper notes that should be left open to ring and what strings should be dampened for each cord of a 21 cord autoharp? A simple document list, listing the proper notes that should be allowed to ring for each of the 21 cords would do. That way when applying new felt on a harp that had bad felt work done in the past can be corrected and the proper notes would be the only ones ringing when plucked once re-felted. I have searched the internet and haven't been able to find such a document list. Can you help me find such a document, please. Some say to go by the old cuuting of the felt before the old felt is removed, but I'm finding some of the old cutting was made too wide and some are not touching strings they should be touching if you get my drift. I'm new at doing this and want to make sure I only have the right strings being played for each cord. Is there such a list available to show which string should ring on each cord?

How do you know what chords to keep open?

This was such a helpful video...thank you!

[@ralfschluwe3976]

where do you buy the felt?

Hi there, thanks for making this video! I'm looking to restore a Model B I have and to get it to play well. I have a question though.. it seems like when i press down there's a fair amount of wiggle to the left and right.. is this normal? it seems like you'd want the up/down movement to be very tight to insure it only mutes the right strings?

Also do you know if anyone has been known to re-felt their autoharp to use more conventional chords for guitar players like myself who don't really deal in flats and such? I imagine there's no reason it wouldn't work, but wondered if anyone has been known to do this? I'm just thinking of ways to make learning it easier if it's built around chords I'm familiar with on my guitar.
