Thread Name: Tech: Zither or Autoharp
Subject: Tech: Zither or Autoharp
Did anyone else watch Pointless on BBC 1 last night (16th Feb)?
Contestants were asked at one point to identify various musical instruments. One of the pictures was definitely of an Autoharp which both sets of contestants identified wrongly as either a Harpsichord or an Accordion. Th presenters then both said it was a Zither. Am I missing something or is the name Autoharp not accepted as a musical instrument?
