Overview
The Oscar Schmidt ASA (Type A) Loop-End Autoharp String Set provides a full complement of 36 authentic loop-end strings crafted specifically for early-era autoharps—pre-1967 models—and the black re-issue OS73B/OS73C models. These loop-end strings are engineered to fit over the finishing-nail pins situated near the bridge and are individually wrapped for easy identification and installation. The set ensures your vintage instrument maintains its original tone and playability.
