Unbranded Plucked Psaltery
Lap Harp / Zither
15-String Instrument
Mahogany Finish Wood Construction

This is a vintage 15-string plucked psaltery, a type of zither commonly known as a lap harp. These instruments are known for their simple, diatonic tuning and are often used in folk music or as an introductory string instrument. The hollow wooden body provides resonance, and its compact triangular shape makes it easy to hold and play. This type of instrument is often played by placing it on one's lap and plucking the strings individually to create melodies.

• Features 15 metal strings for a bright, clear tone.
• Unique tuning system with individual hex bolt tuners for adjustment.
• Solid wood frame with a mahogany-finished top and central soundhole.

Condition: Used. The instrument is in good structural condition with no visible cracks or major damage. There are minor signs of wear such as light scuffs consistent with age. At least one string is loose/unwound as seen in photos. The instrument will likely require a new set of strings and tuning. Instrument condition assessed visually only.
