Zither.

Technical description: Back of black-stained lime(?). Sides and soundboard of painted wood. Bottom end is at a 90º angle to the spine. Side opposite the spine is similar to a guitar, having a lower bout and waist, then a sharp point as the upper bout. Rounded top. The strings attach at the bottom. No cover over the bottom and bridge. The nut is in two sections, the base section is parallel to the bridge and carries all of the chords and the lowest single strings; the treble section nut is at an angle to the bridge therefore reducing the string length. 5 chords in the bass section Amajor, Dmajor, Fmajor, Gmajor, and Cmajor. Single strings from C? - C?, without E??, B??, E??, and B??. Sound-hole diameter 72. The chord section tuning-pins are in groups of 4 (arranged 3+1), the bass bridge single strings in groups of 2, and the treble bridge strings individual. Three buttons on the back.
