Hi all,
I just came across a few citterns for sale/sold, including one "South
German Hals Zither dated 1663"(?) about mid-way down the page. FWIW.

There's another one listed here - quote: "Halszither, Neck Cittern
dated 1759 or 1750". It reminds me of a German cittern in the National
Museum of Edinburgh. Ages ago I put up a little website about it. I've
revisited it and it's here:

Wouldn't 1750 or 1759 be early for this type of German cittern? Though
robust German citterns were certainly around in the 1750s, like the
Zacher one:
