Description: Fifteen chord Oscar Schmidt Autoharp: Renewed, Customized, Upgraded, and Added to: ... Made in USA, Maple wood, at least 30 years old so seasoned to sweetness. Museum Quality plus extra customized and upgraded features making this a real musical instrument. Renewal Process: Instrument was cleaned, then lemon oil was applied all around, then strings were replaced that were old / broken. If gross-tuning pins were lose, they were removed, the holes filled with PinTite – used for Piano Block to tighten, then gross tuning pins were gently re-introduced to renewed wood holes for keeping string tuned without slipping. Customizing Process: Chord bars were refelted to play in keys of C, G, D, & ATwo-row chord bars arranged similar to Bryan Bower's set-up as follows:Soprano Row: Dm Am G7 Em Bm F#m A7 Bass Row C7 F C D7 G D A E7 Additions & Upgrades: Fine Tuner set made by Greg Schrieber (retail cost over $200.00) Fine and gross tuner wrenches, a padded case, and a pick pocket.. So, let yourself be indulged with one of the finest autoharps made outside of a luthier shop, ready to play out of the case (these are kept tuned up to shipping day), and these nice autoharps are all kept at a temperature and humidity controlled environment so they remain stable). Listen here to the autoharp singing: https://youtu.be/spbyhDMFgdM If you use multiple autoharps at any one session, I suggest that you use quick release strap locks so you can change autoharps without changing your straps: Can refer you to the best of these if you have questions. If you have $1500.00 or more to pay for a hand-made luthier model, I suggest you contact me for lists of luthiers ... apologies, cannot give this information in the listings . Shipping is included, but if I am out of town at a weekend music festival - shipping may be delayed as much as a week, FYI.
