Last week, I updated my autoharps page for the Autoharp Music Tips website. This page was designed for newbies who want to play auotharp. My goal is to share my top three  suggestions for anyone getting started playing the instrument. I play Oscar Schmidt autoharps. So those are my top recommendations.

It's tough picking out which autoharps I should share. The trouble is that many of the newer autoharps don't have a sound that *I* like. But I also know that if you're just starting out, you will get used to whatever sound you are introduced to. So as long as the body is good, you should be fine. The newer 21-chord autoharps typically have good bodies.

As for me, I usually find or buy an autoharp from the late 70s to early 80s. I just got one from a friend in Louisiana. The body is in perfect condition. So my plan is to have Chuck Daniels upgrade it with his custom-action hold down system. That takes away a lot of the clicks that come from the basic OS design.

Anyway, if you're looking for an autoharp or need any suggestions, just ask or check out my Autoharp Music Tips website.
