Antique Zither

If you’re in the market for an antique zither, you’ve come to the right place. These lute-like instruments were made in the early 20th century and are in remarkably good condition, especially when it comes to the tuning fret board. The antique zither in question was restored to its former glory, and is offered in a sturdy cardboard case. This instrument is adorned with mother of pearl, marquetry, and inlay carving, as well as an ivory handle. Several tuning mechanisms can be found within the instrument, making it a great piece of family history.

Although not widely played, the zither has had an influence on the lives of contemporary musicians. In fact, the zither technique has even been used to play the electric guitar. During the early 1950s, Jeff Healey was born blind and began playing the guitar at age three. He used his left hand above the fingerboard to play on the instrument. Later, he used his Fender Stratocaster guitar as an electric zither, and occasionally played with a mandolin when he couldn’t find a zither.

This zither is about 115 years old and requires some cosmetic repairs. It includes the tuning key and is in working condition, although it may need a little TLC. It has typical cosmetic wear, such as some cracks, but doesn’t affect its playability. It’s an excellent antique zither for the price.
