Franz Schwarzer Columbian Zither - Model 172
A reader of the web site, Michael K., sent in these photos of his grandfather's zither, a 36 string Columbian Zither, model number 172. He recalled that his grandfather played "Wein, du Stadt meaner Träume" (Vienna, City of my Dreams) on this zither. The instrument has serial number 10093 carved into the first fret of the fretboard and was sold in 1913.
