Autoharps by
Oscar Schmidt & Custom Luthiers
Everyone
has their own preference when it comes to autoharps. Some like diatonic
'harps, others like chromatic. Some like homemade autoharps, others
can only afford the standard-Oscar Schmidt. That's where I am. I've
been playing my OS since I started in 1998, and I love it. Sure, I'd
love to try out a better autoharp, but for right now, Oscar Schmidt
is the way to go!

I had Chuck add his custom-action hold down system to one of my autoharps. It greatly reduced the amount of noise from the keys. I'm very happy with the result!
