Hohner(yes the harmonic people) made some modern autoharps around about l963 with the hope some modern rock group like the Beatles might adopt them as a sort of hybrid keyboard instrument and guitar-like one, like the historical clavichord. the company did make some electrified versions with neat finishes and tone controls I saw one in the window of the Music Mart in the late sixties in Jersey City. The owner of the store saw a good thing a in possible (Clavichord-like) revival. sorry it did not take ofrf-Twang! Some country groups used them and still do! Drink Mountain Dew!
