GUEST,American Cousin Guest	Autoharp Refurbishment: Oscar Schmidt (45)	RE: Autoharp Refurbishment: Oscar Schmidt	12 Sep 11
I just purchased a Oscar Schmidt No. 2 3/4 C.1940 Autoharp, (according to picture on Fretlessithers / com). It has 5 chord bars, does that mean it is for strumming only? it has about 6 missing strings. all of the bar labels appear to be cardbord, yellowed by age (?) @3 stringsone chord bar spring missing... I paid $9.50 does it have enough potential to have it refurbished. Also, under the string there are about a doezen 1/8 inch indentations pressed into the soundboard surface. Was there some sort of device for the instrument that could have caused those marks, or was it just a madman with an ice pick. Excuse my rambling on, any help or advice will be apptreciated. email coldflamingo@wildblue.net
