Oscar Schmidt OS11021FHS Flame Honeyburst Finish Acoustic 21 Chord Autoharp

Description

The OS11021FHS features flame maple on the front and on the back of the autoharp is solid spruce. The natural wood tones are accentuated by the honey sunburst design. The glossy finish of this instrument will help protect this instrument for years to come. One downside of glossy finish is that it will slightly dampen the acoustic sound of the instrument as the finish is thicker than satin finishes. Oscar Schmidt constructed this limited edition autoharps the same way they have been building them for years. Each autoharp features a frame made of rock maple and a 10-ply rock maple pin block. The 10-ply rock maple pin block helps prevent the tuning pegs from moving once you have tuned your autoharp. The OS11021FHS feature sound cavities that are framed by maple and provide ample sound to play these autoharps acoustically.

Incredible Strength:
The pin blocks in many of the finest autoharps consist of hard rock maple for extra strength. The pin blocks are laminated, 10-ply rock maple pin blocks, meaning they are specially coated for extra strength. The purpose of the pin block is to firmly hold the tuning pins in place where the strings are attached. The added strength of the laminated rock maple ensures that everything will stay in the right place. The Autoharp, like the piano, is a tempered scale, so the same string is used in several chords; even when perfectly in-tune in one chord, it may sound slightly sharp or flat in another. Over time as the strings loosen, you can use fine tuning to tighten them, so the strings can reach their limits. The first twang of a string is higher and the tone settles in after a second.
