Overview
Strumming chords across a laminated rock maple pin block is the core of this Oscar Schmidt Centurion, which pairs a mahogany and maple body with a gloss finish. The listing describes it as having the purest overtones of any autoharp the seller offers. A jack connector is listed.
The reason to buy is clear, distinct tone and a pin block built to stay in tune. The limit is that the top is called both maple and spruce in the listing, and no weight, size or warranty is given.
Who it's for
Players who want a Centurion-level instrument for performance or recording can use the jack and the pin block. Those needing left-handed layout, a documented warranty or the exact top wood should confirm details first.
