That particular kind is called an Autoharp. More well known players are Maybelle Carter (of the Carter Family), Roy Clark, & John Sebastian. You can hear it on the 60s hit "Do You Believe in Magic" by Loving Spoonful. Gay Woods plays the Autoharp on "Fisherman's Wife" found on the Steeleye Span album Hark! The Village Wait. One of my all time favorite Psychedelic Folk albums is One Voice Many by Michaelangelo which features the autoharp throughout the album played by Angel Petersen. In fact the band is named after her autoharp she called Michaelangelo.
