The Laura Lee
by d'Aigle Autoharps
Smaller in size, the Laura Lee has 32 strings instead of our standard of 37 strings, a narrower design that is easier and lighter weight to hold, and a wonderfully deep voice with plenty of amplitude.
The Laura Lee comes in either a three key instrument with 15 chord bars, or a chromatic bariton with 21 chord bars, both featuring classic straight lines, with a sound hole decal from original art work by John R. Gray III of d'Aigle Autoharps.
Our standard woods are walnut with spruce top, however cherry, maple, mahogany
and others are avaialable for an extra charge.
The three key instrument is designed to play in any three keys which are adjacent to each other in the circle of fifths—including Bb-F-C, F-C-G, C-G-D and G-D-A—but can be any three keys adjacent in the circle of fifths. The 21 bar chromatic baritone begins on a low F2 which is the same as a standard chromatic, and ends on a G5, normally the last high G on most chromatics.
