Ray Choi, the Genius Luthier
Behind 1,200 Inspired Autoharps
🎵 Lyrebird
A master of mimicry and showmanship, the Lyrebird autoharp dazzles with tonal range and visual flair. Inspired by the bird’s ability to echo the world around it, this harp is built for players who explore, improvise, and perform with fearless creativity.
🎵 Meadowlark
Bright, clear, and full of morning light, the Meadowlark autoharp echoes the bird’s cheerful call across wide-open fields. Its voice is pure and melodic—built for players who want their music to soar with warmth and hope, like a sunrise over tall grass.
🎵 Baltimore Oriole
Lively, colorful, and instantly recognizable, the Baltimore Oriole autoharp is as vibrant as its namesake. With bright, clear tones and crisp projection, this model is ideal for uplifting melodies, fast-paced folk tunes, and harmonies that dance.
🎵 Blackbird
The Blackbird autoharp sings with soulful depth, just like the bird’s haunting twilight song. This instrument invites introspection and beauty in minor keys—a perfect match for storytellers and heartfelt ballads whispered into dusk.
🎵 Mockingbird
Crafted for the playful and the poetic, the Mockingbird autoharp captures the quicksilver wit of the bird that can sing any song. Versatile and expressive, it’s made for musicians who blur genres, imitate styles, and compose with curiosity and charm.
The Lyrebird
Premium Hawaiian Koa wood has been carved to create the top and side of this very elegant autoharp. Alaskan Sitka spruce forms the back. The bridge is made of ebony, and the chord bar is cherry, with a Koa chord bar cover. The scrolled and curvaceous top is further enhanced with inlaid mother-of-pearl around the intricately carved sound hole.
The Meadow Lark
The arched top of this autoharp enhances this beautiful autoharp carved from Alaskan Sitka spruce. Other woods that can be substituted are Alaskan Yellow cedar, cherry, walnut and maple, all of which will produce a beautiful and full, resonant sound when handcrafted with Ray Choi’s internal design.
The Baltimore Oriole
This beautiful autoharp is arched across the top with scrolling. The wing bridge is one piece. The carved fish along the top side is a special feature of this harp. Special engraving along the lower side of the top adds more beauty. This autoharp is also available in your choice of the same quality woods (Sitka spruce, Alaskan yellow cedar, cherry, walnut, or maple.)
The Blackbird
Similar to, and a variation on the Baltimore Orial, but this version uses walnut for the top.
The Mockingbird
The straight, clean lines lend themselves well to the simple style of this more traditional autoharp, very similar to (mocking) a traditional Orthey or Diagle autoharp. This competitively-priced autoharp is created from the same quality wood (Sitka spruce, Alaskan yellow cedar, cherry, walnut or maple) and has the same quality full, resonant, and clear tone as all of Ray Choi’s autoharps.
