Diatonic Autoharp Oscar Schmidt C/G 12 Chords USA Case READY TO PLAY 3 Rows

Description

Oscar Schmidt 12 Chord Diatonic Autoharp conversion with Case, made in the USA, and READY TO PLAY. This Autoharp is in Beautiful Condition. The USA Autoharps are know for their sweet mellow sound and this is one of them. This was an Excellent choice for a Diatonic conversion. I re-did the bars to allow for 3 rows. Majors on the bottom, 7th's center and minors on top. I also removed the # 10, 11, 12, & 13 single strings and replaced them with double wound for a fuller sound. Comes with tuning wrench, picks and case, the case is in fair functional condition.
For those not familar with Diatonic Autoharps I will try to explain. Oscar Schmidt Autoharps are chromatic. There are all the notes like on a piano to allow for up to 21 chords. On this Diatonic Autoharp all the # notes (except F#) have been tuned down to match the proceeding note. Starting with A under middle C, all the A, C, D, and G notes are doubled. This makes melody playing easier and produces a fuller beautiful sound with great volume. I removed the # signs next to the notes so just follow the notes written next to the tuning pegs.
I  have 40 years experience playing and working on Autoharps. All Autoharps I offer are inspected, cleaned, serviced, tuned and played before listing. Most used Autoharps sold on line are from people who know little about them. They are usually dirty and need work. Save yourself time and money this is Ready to Play.
