PIANO ZITHER<br />
A New Chord Instrument with Keys lor Striking*<br />
Similar to Piano.<br />
This is certainly <strong>the</strong><br />
finest <strong>of</strong> all <strong>the</strong> zi<strong>the</strong>r<br />
group, not only in makeup<br />
and equipment, but in<br />
musical efficiency. It<br />
consists <strong>of</strong> a hollow body<br />
22xl3J^ inches, strongly<br />
made and braced so as to<br />
give greatest resonance<br />
and strength, with least<br />
weight; 42 strings are<br />
strung from steel hitch<br />
pins to blued steel tuning<br />
pins over two bridges;<br />
<strong>the</strong> scale is two full octaves<br />
in key <strong>of</strong> C, with<br />
three chord groups C, G<br />
and F. All <strong>the</strong> treble <strong>of</strong><br />
two octaves is double strung, 15 notes with 30 strings.<br />
This double stringing adds 100 per cent, to <strong>the</strong> power<br />
possessed by any o<strong>the</strong>r zi<strong>the</strong>r, and besides contributes<br />
infinitely greater strength. The playing is done by striding<br />
keys that work on springs, <strong>the</strong> rebound from which<br />
throws <strong>the</strong> striker against <strong>the</strong> string, giving a beautiful<br />
harp like tone <strong>of</strong> great power. Regular concert and dance<br />
music can be played as on a piano. The right hand fingers<br />
play <strong>the</strong> melody just as on a piano, <strong>the</strong> left hand<br />
fingers playing <strong>the</strong> accompaniment on similar keys. The<br />
whole mechanism is very simple, easy to get at, and<br />
unhampered by any complex or delicate parts. Equipped<br />
free with an ample book <strong>of</strong> instructions and music, a<br />
tuning key and a music rack.<br />
