zither | schwarzer, sn 10883 | förg |
internal cavity thickness, mm | 32 | 20 |
external thickness, mm | 37 | 26 |
external thickness was measured at the maximum width of the instrument. the schwarzer has a combined thickness of top and bottom of (37-32) = 5 mm, while the förg has (26-20) = 6 mm, approximately a +20% difference.
comparing overall dimensions

maximum length, cm | 85 | 66 |
maximum width, cm | 37 | 35 |
could this significantly greater cavity volume and thiner "skin" be the cause of its apparently greater volume?
