    Although many disagree about the origins of the autoharp, there's no arguing the instrument is a staple of folk music and a great learning tool for music classrooms. The instrument (which is not a harp but rather a zither) is an ideal way to teach chord progression or the importance of chordal accompaniment. There are various styles available including 15 chord and 21 chord models, many constructed from materials like maple for prolonged durability.

    For a time, the term auto harp was a registered trademark of U.S. Music Corporation. Their Oscar Schmidt division manufactured the instrument starting in the early 1900s and today is one of the most recognized names in the autoharp world. Modern autoharp instruments usually have 36 or 37 strings (although some have as many as 47) and a selection of major, minor, and dominant seventh chords. Bring the autoharp into a classroom or the hands of a young musician with a selection from West Music.
