A zither is a member of a family of musical
instruments consisting of one or more strings
stretched over a resonating frame. The modern
concert zither has up to 45 strings of which
five, passing over frets, are plucked with a
plectrum for melody, and the remainder are
plucked with the fingers for harmonic
accompaniment.
