Man that brings back memories. I used to bang around on an autoharp of my parent's when I was a kid. Wish I still had it!
I think my brother, the engineer, took it apart to see how it worked and never got it back together.

Hi Witt-- I have since replaced all the felts,strings, and have done a bit more "Cleaning" but other than hat-- it's untouched from the way it was made in 1960. Information on the harp, was collected from a maker here in Washington state,who said that this particular model, was made only 5 years, specificaally for Sears & Roebuck & Co., and the original cost, was at that time, believe it or not---$23.99 He offered me $500.00 because of it's rareity and condition, but I had to say No Thanks-- just sounds so pure and pristine, once I had it back in shape, I couldn't put it down ! Thanks for the comment Witt, and keep on Pluckin' !
