I left them that way. ;-} Autoharps can sound terrific in meantone (1/4 comma, or 1/6 comma, or anything in between). Since they're playing only a limited batch of chords anyway, some of those enharmonics really don't need to be there at all since they're not played. Pure tritones (1/6 C) or major thirds (1/4 C) make the little beast sound so much stronger! Brad Lehman
