I have just acquired (more or less accidentally!) a 36 string 15 bar Oscar Schmidt autoharp.

Of course one string is broken, all the strings and most of the fittings are rusted, and it seems that one bar is defective, and it needs tuning...

I cannot date it, but it sounds very good on the 'tap it with a fingernail test'...

It has a brown plastic cover over the bar section.

Where can I get strings here in Oz, and how about checking/repairng the bars/felt?
