Oacar Schmidt Autoharp.

Learned to play it back in grade school. The folks bought one for me, but several strings broke while tuning it. It sat unused for several years before being donated to our church. Another neglected instrument - like piano, violin, clarinet, guitar, and everything else I'd taken lessons for in my childhood.

A few years later (OK... about 20) I wanted to pick up an instrument again. I picked this one. It's easy to play (although difficult to play well) and sing along with.
