SEE ALL MY PHOTOS, AND BE SURE TO SUPERSIZE THEM ALL!  WONDERFUL AUTOHARP FROM THE 1970's ERA BY MASTER AUTOHARP CRAFTMAN OSCAR SCHMIDT. MY MOM FANCIED AN AUTOHARP, BUT NEVER BOTHERED TO LEARN TO PLAY IT, SO SHE MERELY STORED IT IN ITS CASE FOR THE LAST 35+ YEARS. LOOKING AT THE FINE GRAIN OF THE WOOD, I WOULD CALL THIS TO BE MAHOGANY. BEAUTIFUL SATIN SMOOTH FINISH IS LONG-LASTING, AND SILKY.AS FOR THE SIZE OF THIS, EXCLUDING THE FREE CASE, IT IS 23.5 INCHES LONG BY 12 INCHES WIDE.  I AM NO MUSICIAN, AND HAD TO LOOK AT AN AWFUL LOT OF AUTOHARPS ON THE WEB TO GET THE TERMS CORRECT. THIS HAS 21 CHORD BUTTONS, WITH 36 GOOD-CONDITION STRINGS. THERE IS A SMALL METAL BAR-TYPE THINGY ON THE RIGHT BOTTOM SIDE, WITH TWO KNOBS ON IT. THIS IS SOMEWHAT LOOSE, AND I CAN SEE THAT IT HAS A WIRE ON IT, TO PROBABLY ELECTRIFY THE AUTOHARP FOR AMPLIFIER USE. SEEMS IN GOOD, BUT UNTESTED CONDITION.I NOTICED A TINY 1/4" SCRATCH TO THE BROWN PLASTIC COVER, WHERE THE BUTTONS GO. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LONGER SCRATCHES ON THE HARDWOOD BOTTOM OF THIS, BUT THESE DO NOT GO THRU THE FINISH. I GUESS THEY ARE REALLY DENTS, RATHER THAN SCRATCHES... JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.TWO CORNERS HAVE HAD THE FUZZY BLUE LINING OF THE HARD CASE SWEAT ONTO THEM. I REFUSE TO TRY AND CLEAN THESE OFF, FOR FEAR OF DAMAGING THE FINISH. THE NEW OWNER CAN DECIDE HOW TO HANDLE THESE MINOR BLEMISHES. A VERY FEW BUTTONS ARE DISCOLORED BY AGE & DUST, HAVING BEEN UP AGAINST THE FUZZY CASE LINING. YOU CLEAN CAREFULLY, SO YOU DON'T REMOVE ANY OF THE LETTERING.THE VINTAGE STYLE HARDSHELL CASE IS INCLUDED, AND IN GREAT CONDITION. MINOR SPOTS ONLY WHERE THE AUTOHARP'S FEET RESTED ON THE SIDE. LIGHTLY PADDED IN A ROYAL BLUE FELT LINING, THE FAUX-LEATHERETTE CASE. IT HAS FOUR BRASS-FINISHED LATCHES, AND A STURDY CARRYING HANDLE. THE CASE HAS CLASSIC TOP-STITCHING ALONG THE EDGES, FOR THAT REAL VINTAGE LOOK.ALL IN ALL, A WONDERFUL VINTAGE VALUE, AND AN HEIRLOOM TO PASS ON TO THE MUSICAL GRANDKIDS, OR JUST A LOVELY INSTRUMENT, WAITING TO MAKE YOUR OWN MUSIC!
