[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 712778, member: 55"]Either just wrong, or being hyper-technical, thinking that if it is not made by Oscar Schmidt, it can't be an auto-harp. Like saying if transparent tape is not made by 3-M, it is not really Scotch tape. There have been court decisions regarding the use of the autoharp name, and other auto-harp related trademarks, but most harpers are comfortable with the autoharp name for this family of instruments, rather than calling them chorded zithers.
