**Vintage German Gitarr Zither**This is a vintage *Gitarr Zither*, a stringed musical instrument of German origin, likely produced in the late 19th to early 20th century. The instrument features a black lacquered wooden body measuring approximately 17 inches (43 cm) at its widest point. **Notable Features:**- **Body:** Asymmetrical shape with a smooth black lacquer finish, exhibiting general wear consistent with its age. - **Floral Motif:** The soundboard is decorated with hand-painted red roses and green foliage, a common design element from the period, adding decorative detail. - **Soundhole and Label:** A circular soundhole is centrally placed, containing a printed label with the text "GITARR ZITHER" and additional German wording, partially legible, indicating functionality for use with musical notation. - **Strings and Playability:** Multiple metal strings of varying thickness span the body from metallic tuning pegs arranged along the upper edge to a securing bridge at the base. A printed note guide beneath the strings displays corresponding musical notes and numbers (e.g., "C, D, E...1–15"), aiding in playability.**Condition:**The zither shows light surface scratches, some patina on the metal pegs, and minor dust, indicative of age-related wear. While primarily functional, the instrument serves equally well as a decorative antique.**Historical Context:**This Gitarr Zither aligns with the craftsmanship of late 19th- and early 20th-century German instruments, offering both aesthetic and musical appeal to collectors of antique musical instruments and European art.
