While wasting time browsing ebay recently I came across this waldzither (http://cgi.ebay.de/Hamburger-Waldzit...3A1|240%3A1318) that appears to be identical in manufacture to mine, but 6x the price, and attributed to a different century! Kind of makes you think
OK so the picture on theirs has a different theme (but same border art), and they have the original glass bridge (originally a marketing gimmick that most players would ditch in favour of a new one). But even so I can't help but think they're being way too optimistic on the price. Whcih just goes to show that these old instruments are worth whatever you can get someone to pay I guess...
See if you can tell which is the cheap one from the images
