Somehow, I read the title of this thread as "I just detuned a damned autoharp"  ;D I was gonna ask for sound clips.

Haha yikes. No fucking way am I transposing that many intervals. I would, however, like to hear it with a few Tele pickups slapped into it. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of time or money. *sigh...

Once I tuned mine to all notes in the same harmonic minor scale so when you pressed the chord keys you just got variations of the same minor chord. Sounded pretty cool. Also taped a pickup in there but I think what would work better is one of those piezo pickups you can grab on ebay for cheap.

You know those are just the same piezo's you can buy from RadioShack for 99c, right? Or pull them for free from any musical Xmas card, or some old piezo tweeter from a crappy set of speakers, crack open the plastic horn, there it is.

Salvage and save ;)
