The lead singer is playing an instrument similar to what I have, which I think is a cittra, but I cannot find anything on the internet about this instrument! My great-aunt from Sweden left this to me after she died, and I want to learn to play it. Anyone know anything about this? I can take a pic of it.
The name in english is zither, closely related to the autoharp in sound. But it has no bridge with chord-buttons, and no chromatic progression for the strings. Instead it has 7 - 10 chords in groups with 9 strings each and is a bastard to keep tuned. Not so hard to play, though. Try the internet again with cittra - zither - autoharp. In swedish it is also called ackordcittra.
