Very true!

The strings of autoharp are almost identical to the black and white keys of a piano, when you are no longer a beginner in playing an autoharp and you've quite memorized and familiarized every note of the 36 strings of an autoharp you can easily find each note you want to play. When it comes to plucking, for example you have a particular string/note to play, even if you hit another string next to it, some of it is muted depending on what chords you are pressing (that's why most autoharp players no need to worry if they unintentionally hit other strings) because unlike the chords of a guitar, autoharp chords are 'singular' where there are specific "chord buttons".
