Autoharps by
Oscar Schmidt & Custom Luthiers
Everyone
has their own preference when it comes to autoharps. Some like diatonic
'harps, others like chromatic. Some like homemade autoharps, others
can only afford the standard-Oscar Schmidt. That's where I am. I've
been playing my OS since I started in 1998, and I love it. Sure, I'd
love to try out a better autoharp, but for right now, Oscar Schmidt
is the way to go!
Beautiful
15-chord autoharp. It plays in 7 keys, has traditional button configuration,
a laminated rock maple pin block, and tobacco sunburst finish. Not the best-constructed instrument, but it is the Best
value for a newbie.

21-Chord
Autoharp with Built in pickup,volume, and tone control. If you're
looking to go professional or you just want to be heard among the

installation fee later.

a Solid spruce back like the original Autoharp. Available in Natural,

Would you rather
own a Chromaharp?
While
they are not my first preference, buying a chromaharp will save a
good $50, so if you're just starting out, give
it a shot.

Chuck Daniels Autoharp Repair Page
Outstanding customization of Oscar Schmidt autoharps. Services include: Custom Action Hold Down System, Refelting, Restringing, and diatonic conversions.
I had Chuck add his custom-action hold down system to one of my autoharps. It greatly reduced the amount of noise from the keys. I'm very happy with the result!
