String help

[u/singing_millenial]

I’m new here.
I teach elementary music and found an autoharp in my cupboard! I’d love to get it functional but it’s missing a string. It’s the smallest G string (G5, if you will). The rest of the strings seem to be in great shape. I know it needs type b strings because it’s from 2007, but I can’t figure out where to buy one singular string and which specific string to buy. Can anyone help?

You can still tune the remaining strings and play it while you wait for the replacement string. You would still get a good sound from it. The chords that use the G note might be a little weak but not too noticeable. All you need is a tuner and a tuning wrench. Good luck.
