Interesting instrument, Frank. I guess you could say it is a 'sister' 
instrument to the cittern popular in Britain and the lowlands.    ;-)   
Do you have any details of it - dimensions, strings, tuning, woods used, etc ? 
It looks quite similar to my recollection of something they have in the little 
music museum in Stockhom. I wonder if this pattern of cittern might have been 
known all over Scandinavia at one time ?
