Long Description
Antique/The Zither was kept in original box in attic. Paint now has crackle look because of a heat factor. Has tuning key, original instruction book which is also in german. Has 3 song cards and an orginal thumb pick. And I would bet that it has its original strings because it was never played after my mother got it.
