Autoharp

i have been desperately trying to find some autoharp songs because that instument has to be one of the most beautiful instruments EVER!
if you don't know what an autoharp is, there will be one in a video i'll post on this blog a little ways on.
the first time i heard an autoharp was during the movie "A Series of Unfortunate Events"
it used to be my favorite movie, just because it was so different from any other movie i had ever seen when it came out.
if you are familiar with this film, then you may remember the scene where the children's uncle plays an autoharp for them.
when i saw that scene for the first time in the theatre, i loved it!
so many notes and beautiful chords!
here is the scene:
so beautiful right?♥
anyway, when i first saw it, i thought it was awesome, but i didn't really look into it that much.
recently i bought the score for "500 Days of Summer" and it is so awesome!
there is a song in it though that has an autoharp and this song helped me re-discover the autoharp.
here is the song:

when i heard the song i instantly knew it was the same instrument in "Series" but i didn't know what it was called.
i asked my mom and she told me (yay mom!)
since then, i've looked up videos on people playing this instrument and i can't get enough!
so i am seriously considering saving up some money and buying one, because that would be SO AWESOME!
that is my latest obsession, i hope you can enjoy it like i have
love, Katie♥
