I am my mothers driver and personal chef, we have been visiting a friend of hers in Texas for a week, where I have been sharing a room with a curious, old stringed instrument which is unlike any I've ever seen. She calls it a zither, Her grandmother played it when she was a child, some 80 years ago.
I looked inside the body and found a label which calls it an "American Art Guitar".
Searching the internet for this term I find pictures of prettily, painted guitars. This ain't that. Does anyone out there know this wee beastie? It was gifted to me and I'd like to learn it and try to do it justice. #zither #MusicalInstrument #StringedInstrument #Antique
