We can be referred to as "autoharpers", as you wish. Meantime, the term "autoharpist" continues to apply quite logically.
I believe I am an autoharpist but I also like the term "autoharper", because it can be thought of as encompassing all the tuning and tinkering that go with actually playing the autoharp.
But then there may be autoharp-ists who are not autoharp-ers, because hubby does all the support work and hands wifey a prepared instrument, conceivably vice versa. That goes back to the autoharp being "easy to play" only if it is "ready to play", someone else doing the "hard" part. It is not unlike a winning race car driver needing to thank his crew when making some victory comments.
