family, Zither’s origin takes us to
ancient Europe. Its peculiarity lies
in the fact that it’s strings are of

the same length as the soundboard.
Placed on the musician’s lap, the

the strings while the plectrum is
worn on the right thumb and the
other fingers of the right hand strike
the contrabass strings.

way that when one string is struck,
at least one other string resonates
with it.
