E. O. Starke Zither
A reader of the web site shared these photos of an early zither attributed to E. O. Starke in Chicago. The instrument was likely made by him during his time with Lyon & Healy, when the company sold zithers under the Washburn label. After leaving Lyon & Healy, Emil Starke was employed with Wurlitzer where he worked as a harp maker and supervisor.
