Waldzither is a plucked string instrument of the cittern family, which came up around 1900 in Thüringen. Despite of name, it is not a zither, but rather belongs, like cittern, to the necked box lutes family.
The Waldzither is a German type of cittern, as develop in other countries have their own cittern-variants; for example, the Portuguese guitar in Portugal, the English guitar in England, and the Irish bouzouki in Ireland.

[edit]- cittern - (Thüringer) waldzither. ATLAS of Plucked Instruments. "The waldzither became popular in Germany in the first half of the 20th century. It is a far relative of the English guittar, but has only 5 courses (missing the 2nd lowest bass string). It is like a (4 course) Harzzither, with an extra (single) bass string."
