Led says one of his uncles played autoharp back in Kalapana days and Led picked it up from him. But of course Led added in some of his own stuff (grin).

Even though he recorded "Jus' Crusin'," a CD of all autoharp tunes some years ago, the frustration with various wooden harps and their tuning issues led him to unload any harps he had. He recently received a custom carbon fiber harp from d'Aigle Autoharps, though, and he has been enjoying its solid tuning and clean clear sound.

After a couple of tries I finally got a decent recording of the new harp. We set up in Led's garage and he pulled a couple of his potted palms over for a nicer backdrop. By sheer coincidence I asked him to play the first song from his autoharp CD, "He Aloha No O Honolulu" and here it is:

He has been taking it to gigs on O`ahu and the tuning stability should help it travel. Perhaps you can nudge him a little on his Facebook page.
