Custom Oscar Schmidt 15 Chord Autoharp Tobacco Sunburst w/Books

This Oscar Schmidt Autoharp is in great shape. It was purchased for my father-in-law in 1992 with books.  He rarely played it. It was kept in his smoke free, air condition home. The strings have been changed once since the purchase. The current strings have been tuned and cleaned. The wound strings show oxidation. I have been playing the instrument on and off for a week and have found that the strings maintain their pitch well.  There is one crack in the finish (see photo) otherwise the instrument is in excellent-mint condition. The felt on the keys show little sign of wear and the keys function quietly.

This comes with two Mel Bay books (Complete Autoharp and Hymns), both are in good condition with no yellowing. It also includes the original felt pick, a medium pick, thumb pick and Golden Gate tuning hammer.
