The Schreiber Autoharps shop is open for business!

It's been an exciting and busy couple of years...

    ~ Apprenticing with luthier George Orthey since late 2007

         ~ Beginning construction of my own workshop in the spring of 2009

              ~ Working through the fall and winter of 2009 to finish the building interior

                   ~ Purchasing and installing the necessary machinery

                        ~ And now, in the spring of 2010, to be able to say "We're open!"

Having completed my apprenticeship with world renowned luthier George Orthey, I am now building instruments in my new workshop. If you are considering the purchase of a hand crafted custom autoharp, please consider a Schreiber Autoharp. We are currently accepting orders and would love to be a part of your musical journey!

George is continuing to build autoharps and does not have any immediate plans to retire.  He has worked tirelessly in developing what many consider to be the best available autoharps in the world.  His wish is simply to pass along the skills necessary to ensure that these quality instruments will continue to be available to future generations of autoharp players.

My heartfelt thanks to George Orthey for inviting my daughter Katie and I into his shop to teach us the craft of building these beautiful instruments and for entrusting us to carry on this art upon his eventual retirement from what he has done so well for over 30 years.

We are pleased to have a part in serving the autoharp community by continuing to build instruments of the finest quality, as George has done for so many years!

Sincerely, Greg Schreiber
