Found this zither piece posted to my Twitter:



Very awesome, especially if it's a chord zither. Here's the link.

A lovely piece! :D I already follow the musician on Youtube, he's really good! And, yes, that's a 5/21 chord zither he has there. He's using a non-standard tuning, though - probably to make the instrument suitable for somewhat-contemporary American music.

Nice!

Here this style of zither is sometimes known as an autoharp.

It really sounds very beautiful.

Zithers were quite popular in our area at the end of the XIX century.
