Hello,
A friend of mine has a zither that is just like the one described by Shawna M. About that size too. It also says John Skaug Music shop, and has the address 1211 Belmont Ave. Chicago, ILL. written on it. It is made of black painted wood with some other designs painted on it. Missing some strings but supposed to have 84 of them. The word "Harpeleik" is also written on it. It's in a wooden box with green velvety fabric on the inside.
I'm looking for any information as to the origin of it and it's value.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much,
Emily
