I just love when people can play any instrument. But when they play multiple instruments that’s a whole new level. Thank you for playing your instruments.

Thanks again!

DeeDee, that was lovely.

I played an autoharp long ago in my elementary school music class time - mostly we were given a change to play the instrument briefly to accompany the rest of the class singing Christmas carols (early 1960s). Seemed fun and not terribly hard but we all were basic learners.

I ALWAYS used it with kids, because it WAS easy….but playing melody on it took me to another level, because it was SO much more fun🎶

HOW SWEET THE SOUNĎDDDD!

Lovely, as always! 💗💗💗

Nicely done DeeDee. Very lovely song 🌸💕

Oh my goodness! I remember this song! I remember hearing it in my home as a kid. Ha! Now you know my age! 😃 My parents loved the orchestral artist named James Last, who did this song with his orchestra. Those were the days when we had records. You played this song perfectly!

I never knew the Autoharp existed! Thank you for sharing! Such a lovely tune!

We purchased an Oscar Schmidt 21-chord in the 1970s. My wife has played it for our children and grandchildren and in church. I play it occasionally and also do the tuning. I enjoy your videos.

Lovely! I bought a small Oscar Schmidt autoharp a few years ago, to use when singing with my grandchildren. However, I must use it guardedly with the very youngest ones, as their touches can sometimes be a bit too rough for an instrument! I love that song, too- and recall being excited back in the 70’s whenever I heard that played on the radio. Regarding the fingerpicks: do you use the same kind that are used for a banjo? I have never tried playing my autoharp that way, but just have strummed mine with a hard felt pick.

@deedeetibbits

Yes…the picks are the same. I didn’t know how much fun autoharps could be until I picked it up and tried to play melody on it!☺️

@janetryan9779

@@deedeetibbits Neat! Playing melody with picks is definitely more appealing to me than just strumming….probably because I am primarily a musician and not a vocalist. I will have to try my banjo picks on the autoharp sometime.

My grade school music teacher did NOT show us you could play the autoharp that way!

That’s because it’s harder work , and most students in a classroom wouldn’t be able to accomplish it. Your teacher just wanted you ALL to have success🎶

DeeDee , when buying an autoharp, would you prefer chromatic or diatonic ? That’s for sharing your videos of different instruments.

@deedeetibbits

3 ай бұрын

I’ve had( and played) BOTH kinds, and the diatonic is a bit fuller because not so many strings are muted. However, I also like to have those‘accidentals handy when I need them.

I love the auto harp! My father bought me a zither when I was I think 10 or 11 years old and I loved it then I saw someone play an auto harp and I wanted to learn that. However, I ended up teaching myself the guitar. I’m not very good however, I just keep trying. I really like the way you played. Now, I want to get one! 🥹💜
