GUEST,Suibhne Astray Zither info please... (19) RE: Zither info please... 03 Apr 12

I would say a Harpeleik Zither is just as real a zither as any other type, probably more so for the absence of frets, which are a feature of certain European folk board-zithers (up to the Concert Zither of Karas), but absent from most other members of the world zither family. Back in 1999, the monks of Worth Abbey would sing their Gelineau psalm tones to the accompaniment of a very big unfretted Chord Zither, and I hope they still do.

Lots of chord zithers on YouTube, including this, which I'm guessing is the sort of thing Sarah is talking about:
