The Classic Antique Zither by Manufacturers Advertising Co / Marxophone is a vintage musical instrument made in the United States. This zither, also known as a Marxophone, is a traditional stringed instrument that produces soothing and melodic sounds. With its classic design and rich history, this vintage zither is perfect for musicians looking to explore the world of folk and world music. Overall condition of the body is good and solid, some loss of finish and scratching (please see photos to evaluate condition). One of the lead tipped hammer strikes has been repaired, has all of its strings, will need to be tuned and adjusted before it’s next big concert. Not sure of the exact date of manufacture but would quess by the 4 digit serial number in the 1920’s.
