I began building traditional style autoharps for Marsha and myself in 2008. We were unhappy with manufactured autoharps that, even when new, required costly and time consuming mechanical modifications to make them play properly and meet our musical needs. Custom built luthier instruments were not affordable to us so I began making my own.

Soon after, I began offering autoharps for sale. Each one was different, defined by my experience and the customers needs. There are many, many ways to make an autoharp and for that reason I had never had “models” to choose from. I still don’t have models but to make ordering decisions easier, I’m going to describe some basic categories with options and prices.

Much of my work has been building quality, affordable left handed autoharps for left handed musicians and those who want to play the instrument on their laps without having to cross their hands. The few left handed models produced by factories decades ago have been of disappointing design and almost impossible to find. New left handed autoharps are available from most autoharp luthiers but at a higher price

My goal is to offer well built, handcrafted, great sounding autoharps at a cost somewhere between the $350 to $550 cost of new Asian manufactured autoharps and the $1200 to $2500 cost of those made by other American luthiers. Currently, that cost is $900.00 for my basic autoharp that includes many wood and setup choices. Features and prices for my autoharps can be found in the header above.
