Chromaharps

So what's the big difference between Chromaharps and Autoharps? The main difference is the brand name. Chromaharp is a trademarked name from Rhythm Band, and I think, the Chromaharp has 37 instead of 36 strings. I've never really played one, so I'm not that familiar with them. But if you'd prefer a less expensive 'harp, try the Chromaharp.
