Cleaning Dusty Autoharps

Recorded while fixing up autoharps for a clinic. This is a Phonoharp-built Model 2 3/4 "The Favorite" (I misidentify it in the first few moments.) Sometimes I tune them before I clean them, because I'll need to tune them at least twice more before they settle in. But if they're too bad . . . I accumulated these ancient autoharps while researching articles for https://creekdontrise.com/acoustic/au... Sadly, there was a lot of misinformation out there, and the only way to get to the truth was to build up this collection. Ironically, many of these relics still sound great once someone takes time to clean and tune them. (Mold is another issue, though . . . . ) Also, please subscribe to my channel. As it is, YouTube keeps putting ads for disgusting subjects on the front of my videos and I don't see a penny. With more subscribers, I can get some measure of control over the ads, and eventually get the pennies per viewing that YouTube is pocketing now.
