A LITTLE HISTORY ( Oscar Schmidt Guitaro )

The Guitaro was first introduced under that name by the Oscar Schmidt company in the 1960s. However, evidence suggests that its design and functionality represent a reworking of an older idea. It is designed so that the performer can play it from guitar position, i.e., horizontally, hung from a shoulder strap like a guitar. As with the fingering of a guitar neck, the player reaches around to the front from behind and below to manipulate the chord bars. Even though the push points of the bars are located nearly at their ends, specially designed chord bars distribute the player's downward force evenly across the length of the bars by transferring the force to the center of the bars' length. It is included here because it represents an actual functional deviation from the norm of autoharp design. Notice the "resonator" covering the lower half of the back. This appears to be an innovation of the later guitaro's creators. Like the guitar, the tone of an autoharp is diminished when its back is held against a player's body. Doubtless the real intent of this apparent "resonator" is to reduce loss of tone for this reason, not to direct sound forward as with the resonator of a banjo.
