Jugendstil zither?!?
Jun. 7th, 2022 12:01 amEhhh. When I bought this one, I thought, okay, the design is some fake Jugendstil (art nouveau) thing?!? But, turns out, it may actually be the real deal. I couldn't find a date on the instrument, but I found the same model here, and the seller of that piece claims it's from around 1900, which would actually be the correct period for this art style.

Personal opinion: the design is very pretty, but, uh, I wouldn't put peacocks on a musical instrument. If you've ever heard a peacock, you'll know what I mean. This is a really stupid idea.

Gorgeous, though. XD
And it's a great instrument, too. Of all the zithers I've ever played on, this has to be the best! Despite the age, there's no warping at all, nothing rattles, no rust anywhere... This is like new, which means, it has been stored well! Also, the sound is very rich. It's AWESOME!!! I mean, this is a seriously good instrument. Almost too good for a chord zither. Also, it's a 5/21, which is exactly the thing I wanted. I'm very happy now!!!
