Information About

Guitar Zither




The Guitar Zither came into use in the 19th Century , and was widely mass-produced in the United States and in Germany .

A form of Psaltery , the Guitar Zither is closely related to the Autoharp . It differs from the Concert Zither in not having a Fret board.

The name Guitar Zither is apparently derived from its sound, as the Concert Zither is more closely related to the Guitar , in performance method, and in physical form, than is the Guitar Zither .

A closely related instrument, the mandolin zither, has doubled strings, for a more Mandolin -like sound.
