    This is my autoharp collection, all by Oscar Schmidt. I've been playing for over 40 years, and I love the look and sound of these wonderful instruments. Half of them are playable, and the other half are just fun to look at.

      I remember my second grade teacher playing one of these in class, and all of us singing along. It was all black.
      Thanks for the memories, Stef!
      Jeeze I love this site! So many forgotten memories brought back!

      All autoharps have 36 strings, it's the number of chord bars that's the most important. Feel free to send me a photo of your 'harp, and I'll give you my opinion on its value. stefanieeskander@gmail.com

      Sounds like a real treasure! I also collect zithers, but don't have anything too fancy.

      These are cool, I also have memories of a teacher playing one in class.
      There's also quite a bit of history behind these where folk and roots music is concerned.
