Schatten Autoharp Pickup Review Coming
I first started amplifying my autoharp in 1999. The autoharp pickup that was installed was the standard Oscar Schmidt. It had limitations. Mostly notably, it was setup with a 1/8″ input.

Milk Drinking Songs: St Patrick’s Day Songs for Kids
It was in 2006 when the Brobdingnagian Bards put together our first album of “drinking songs” called The Holy Grail of Irish Drinking Songs. Almost regularly since then, I’ve received requests from fans saying, “Can you release an album of drinking songs for non-drinkers?” In fact, Andrew’s song “An Irishman Who Doesn’t Drink” was written in part […]
