What's in a name? Quality, history, and tradition. Our Autoharp is the original, with over 100 years of history behind it.
A wide variety to choose from. Oscar Schmidt is truly the original and only complete source for the Autoharp. Premium
woods,
quality hardware, and modest prices create an ideal instrument. Each is inspected and adjusted in the USA by a skilled
technician,
your assurance for smooth fret ends, precision low action and resonant sound quality. Unequaled standards, easy playing
comfort, and tone response create the perfect value.
The Autoharp, like the piano, is a tempered scale, so the same string is used in several chords, even when perfectly in tune in one chord may sound slightly sharp or flat in another.
Over time as strings loosen, use fine tuning to tighten so it can reach its limits.
The first twang of a string is higher and the tone settles in after a second. Turn the tuner to 442 and attach the clip to the middle peg.

This autoharp was designed with the player in mind. One of the most popular autoharps in Quilted Transparent Blue with a rock
maple pin block to assure you will always be in tune.
The pin blocks in many of the finest autoharps consist of hard rock maple for extra strength. The pin blocks are laminated
rock maple pin blocks meaning they are specially coated for
extra strength. The purpose of the pin block is to firmly hold the tuning pins in place where the strings are attached. The
added strength of the laminated rock maple ensures that
everything will stay in the right place. Multiple layers of maple laminations are cross-banded using a special high frequency,
waterproof gluing process. Reversing the grain direction on each
layer of lamination yields incredible strength and the high-frequency waterproof glue seals the laminations protecting the pin
block from changes in the relative humidity.

History
“An American instrument of American invention.”
The Autoharp is one of the few musical instruments that can claim to be truly American in origin.
Invented in 1881 and patented in 1882, the Autoharp has had a remarkable hundred-year history. After being proclaimed “the nation’s favorite musical instrument” and then nearly fading into obscurity, the Autoharp has taken its manufactures on an endless roller coaster of ups and downs. As a nineteenth-century parlor room favorite, it was finally replaced in popularity by the phonograph. The Autoharp did not die. It retreated to the mountains where it underwent a metamorphosis from a parlor instrument to a folk instrument. From there it came out into our schools to become a classroom feature and finally has emerged as a popular instrument for the serious musician.
