Product Description

Oscar Schmidt 12 Chord C/ G Diatonic Conversion Autoharp. This Autoharp sounded beautiful before the diatonic conversion. Now that beautiful sound is Beautifully Exqusite. The body is also is fantastic condition. On some of the chords I kept the felts that were already there cutting the nessary note out. I did this because the felts were in New condition so have a lott of playing left in them. On the chords I added I cut new felts.
For those not familiar with diatonic autoharps I will try to make a simple explanation.

The Diatonic Autoharp has several notes doubled allowing for fuller sound, better volume, and easier melody playing. To accomplish this on the C/G all the sharps and flats have been eliminated except for F# which makes up the D maj chord.

The chords you have on the top row are Dm, Am, Em, C6, D7, partial A7 minus the C#. On the bottom row Bm, F, C, G, G7, D

I have covered all the # symbols on the Autoharp. Starting on the lowest string F tune the strings according to the note that goes with that string. Starting with the A in the lower octave strings all the A, C, D, & G strings are doubled except the last C string.

The original Autoharp was a made in the USA which are known for their excellent sound.

Comes with tuning wrench and picks. Insurance included in the shipping.

If you have been wanting a diatonic Autoharp but can not afford a new one from a Luthier this very affordable one will fit your needs. I have a custom made diatonic I paid $1300 for with the same chords this one sounds just as good.

I have 36 years experience playing and working on Autoharps
