A lengthy note highlights Mrs. Mary Penn’s autoharp story, teaching herself, singing, and performing in France and at New York venues, stressing its value for missionaries and teachers.
Mrs Penn says autoharp offers easy play for anyone with a fair singing voice and good ear. The zither type instrument features dampers to mute strings and 36 to 38 strings, capable of producing soft organlike tones. She learned by strumming above the keyboard against the shoulder for better tones, a nontraditional method she finds soothing.
