Oscar Schmidt Autoharp Model A
Origins
I bought this in the spring of 2024 in Flagstaff off of Facebook marketplace. The seller bought it from Bookmans a few years prior. The serial number and model leads me to believe that it was made in 1953! It had a few cracks in its body that I roughly fixed with wood glue, and I replaced the felts on all the chord bars. 7 of the 36 strings were broken when I got it so I replaced them with old acoustic guitar strings.
Features:
- 12 Chord Bars
- 36 Strings
- Tuning wrench
- Large felt pick I found inside of it
Usage
Once I got it fixed up it sounds beautiful. Expect to hear this in my future music.
