Unusual 6 string griffbrett, which has pegs not a "machine". This instrument appears to be very old, yet in apparent good shape, may be quite collectable, and needs professional appraisal.
What is the emblem on the top right?

The red "f" seems to be the fourth string in the accompaniment section. The first accompaniment string may b a flat/g sharp, again speaking to age.

Re: Name this Zither ?
Tuning pegs appear quite "shiny". Has this instrument been recently restored?
