Overview

Not built for left-handed players, this maple-bodied autoharp comes with a rock maple pin block and a right-hand chord layout. Alloy steel strings are fitted, and the finish is polished Tobacco Sunburst. A tuning wrench, tuning tips and picks are in the box.

The reason to buy is a complete starter kit with the tools to tune it and a long warranty. The limit is that the listing gives conflicting data on strings and connection, and no sound description.

Who it's for

A strummer who wants to accompany songs on a maple autoharp, plus the tools to tune it, will find the kit complete. Left-handed players, and anyone who needs a documented string count, should look elsewhere.
