zither

n. stringed musical instrument

The zither is a musical string instrument, mainly used in folk music, most commonly in German-speaking Alpine Europe and East Asian cultures. Like many other stringed instruments, acoustic and electric forms exist; in the acoustic version, the strings are stretched across the length of the soundbox, and neither version has a neck. They can be divided into two classes, the fretted ("concert") zithers and fretless zithers. A musician that plays them is called zitherist or zither player.
