Dear David and All:
 The picture is quite interesting, including the tuning mechanism. Is that
one of those "watch-key" tuners seen on some English guitars?
 Also, is there any connection between the Waldzither and the "bell
citterns" of a slightly earlier era?
Cheers,
Jim

My Waldzither is this one:

http://www.studia-instrumentorum.de/MUSEUM/ZISTER/KATALOGE/kat_boehm_2.jpg

with one mother of pearl fretboard decoration needing replacing

It has the back strip shown for No 3

the body is listed as palisander which I think in German is Brazilian or
South American rosewood - normally?
