The Oscar Shmitt is probably the best bet. I know Gold Tone for their banjos which I have always found to be fine instruments. I suggest that if you can, try them both, as its going to be a matter of what you feel ok with
Good luck

Hello,

(French here, forgive the awkwardness in english)
I am very interested about autoharps and would like to have some advice before buying one. I'm thinking about buying a Gold Tone one in second hand. Is there anybody who have it and what do you think about it ?
I also am thinking about an Oscar Shmitt. I wonder if the pressing button on the OC (21 chords) make less noise than the Gold tone? (I heard that OS make a special system in order to attenuate the noise when pressing chords button, is that also the case on the gold tone?)

Thanks for anybody who will help :)
