Zither for sale

I was looking at Facebook Zither Revival and there is a lady wanting to sell a Johann Raster Zither.
There is one picture posted and the top of the zither has some stickers on it, otherwise it’s a nice looking instrument.
Thought someone here would be interested.

Re: Zither search

Thanks Rudy.
I started re-gluing some of the lining and working on the latches, today.
I think I got a good start on it.
I hope to start tuning and learning notes, tomorrow.
Also plan to learn “Silent Night” as you suggested.
Thanks, Again.

Re: My search has ended

Thanks Rudy.
The label in the sound hole says
Original Lindbergh Munchen
I tried to find out about it on the internet, but I guess
I was doing the search wrong or something.
I couldn’t find out anything about it or the manufacturing of it.
The poster of the instrument said it was old.

Re: Zither in Film

My wife and I was watching an old western called “Kentucky Rifle”.
In it Chill Wills strummed a zither like a kid strumming a guitar, while picking notes on the griffbrett.
