Gebrüder Kirchner Concert Zither

Post by Dave »

This early zither, made in Vienna by the Gebrüder Kirchner, has "F Holes" instead of the typical circular sound hole and decorative grill work on the front and back sides which serve as additional sound ports. The text inside the zither appears to read: "Gebruder Kirchner / Wien / NON plus ultra zither/ Fabrik and Niederlage / XVIII Schulgasse No.10 / VL Gumpendorferstrasse Strasse No.92"
