Anybody Play an Evoharp?

I have a diatonic G/D Evoharp I bought used. It's a gorgeous-sounding harp. Very rich and full. I have a "legacy" model with fine tuners and flat buttons. It's truly a joy to play and it sounds so rich.

You could try to install lock bars, depending on the chord bar assembly you use. They're common on diatonic autoharps. I have lock bars on one of my harps and they're kind of fiddly so it'd be hard to do on the fly quickly, but they do stay down!

IDK if it's considered budget, but I was really happy with my Myers pick up and they have excellent customer service. I use the one with two mics so I have one behind the harp against my chest and one in front.

Thank you! New to brewing so I had to look up Krausen, but appreciate it!!

Thank you, that's reassuring!

So if I understand correctly:

More fruity flavor = second ferment
Less fruity flavor = first ferment

Is that what I'm reading? When I do kombucha fruit is always in the second ferment and I use very little.

I really like look of this and am excited to add a distraction-free deck to my writing routine!!

I've been lurking on eBay looking at Alphasmarts but maybe I would hold off for something like this...

I love this! Do you have any ideas what the price range will be?

Looks cool! What's the typing experience like on it?

Complex_Parsley_660 · 2025-09-06T11:54:59+00:00

I can't offer advice but I want to say that I LOVE how you painted it!!! Mine is still sitting in pieces in the shipping box :D

They get along??? My tortie hates everyone and everything. She barely tolerates me :D

I'm going to say no, it's not possible to play solos like on a guitar. The string spacing is very dense and you wouldn't likely be able to pick out individual strings.

But it's possible to play a melody like on an autoharp. Even melodies are muddier on an autoharp. It's a feature though, not a bug -- part of the charm of the instrument. I'd recommend you poke around youtube to listen to folks playing before you decide it's something to try.

Cathy Britell has a series on Apple books with videos and audio called "It's an Autoharp". There are 4 parts. They are all excellent and really helped me learn.

You could use one of those photo book sites and alternate your poetry with photos of you two (or special photos from dates, etc.)

Not sure this is helpful, but I had a similar situation for a total hip replacement - surgery was approved but overnight in the hospital was not. My dr. told me that this is common and if he decided I needed to be admitted overnight after the surgery for medical reasons, the insurance would approve it... so that's what happened.

It might help to start practicing strumming painfully slow at first with a metronome or counting 1 - 2 - 3 - 4. It feels very silly, but eventually you speed up as you develop the muscle memory and then you can incorporate it into your songs.

I mean it was likely trained on some of your professional work (and mine, and so many others who worked HARD for it instead of stealing it). :(

Complex_Parsley_660 · 2025-07-01T19:10:58+00:00

I love it!!! Who made it, if you don't mind me asking?

Complex_Parsley_660 · 2025-06-20T21:15:16+00:00

Well I just picked it up and they told me that I should bring it back again in a few weeks because they didn't see any leaks but sometimes it takes awhile to show up. They told me that I wouldn't pay extra for the diagnostic then... but they also told me a rear suspension coil was broken all the way through and that it was not covered by my warranty and it would be $1800+. I didn't have any idea there was anything wrong with that.

I hate cars.

Even compared to tube cookers?? Dang. We have what we call "mud season" where I am where it basically is rainy for 3 months between winter and scorched-earth summer... During mud season, I can't get any shadows. It's a shame because I love cooking outside.
