Detail 01
Wound, not plain steel
A wrap over a core adds mass for low pitch without extra thickness. Plain strings won't substitute here.

Rhythm BandChromAharP Strings Wound Bass F
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single wound bass F replacement string for ChromAharP autoharps. Buy it when one string breaks or a bass note has gone dull.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing one broken bass F on a ChromAharP
- Keeping a spare in the case for school programs
- Refreshing dead low strings one at a time
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a full set — this is one string
- Autoharps from other makers with different string lengths
- Anyone needing plain treble strings
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Bass register
These are the longest, thickest strings, nearest the tuning pins end. They break less but go dull faster.
Detail 03
Pitch F
Cut and gauged for one specific slot. A neighbouring note's string will sit at the wrong tension.
Detail 04
Single string
One string per package. Full restringing means ordering by note, string by string.
Detail 05
ChromAharP fit
Sized to that instrument's scale. Length and end loop have to match the harp you own.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Count from the bass end to confirm which F you need before ordering
- 02Autoharps tune with a socket wrench, not a guitar peg
- 03A new string stretches for days — expect to retune repeatedly
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a full set of strings?
No. One wound bass F string only. Autoharp strings are sold by individual note, so a complete restring means buying each pitch separately.
02Will it fit any autoharp?
It is made for the ChromAharP. Other makers use different string lengths and anchor styles, so fit is not guaranteed on another instrument.
03How do I know if I need the wound one?
Look at the string you are replacing. If it has a visible wrap wound around a core rather than being plain bright steel, this is the type.
04Do I need special tools?
A tuning wrench that fits autoharp pins and something to trim excess string. A clip-on tuner helps, since bass strings are hard to pitch by ear.
