ZITHER. The coolest instrument ever besides a harp. It has a sitar type of sound but much easier to control. I bet the theory is crazy.

1867 German (Munich) Zither at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London - From the curators' comments: "The Alpine zither was developed by Johan Petzmayer (1803 - 1884) in Munich during the 1820s. The musician would set it on a table and press the five highest strings down onto a fretted finger board with his left hand, and pluck them with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, strumming the other bass strings with his middle and ring finger as required."

Autoharp Erato Müller's - My grandmother had one of these hanging on the wall (*doubt it was the exact same one but it was similar) when I was a child - it has a big crack in the wood :(
