    Have no idea what it's called in English, Columbina in Spanish.



    I just bought one, and tought myself some nice tunes.

    It's truly worth the 10$ I payed for it.

    What would you call that? Lap harp, psaltery, zither, dulcimer, I dont' know, pick one. How do you play it? That might make the difference.

    You play it exactly like a harp and you can tune it in different scales.

    Its called a Dulcimer in English I believe...almost like an autoharp, but those have the button type keys you push down on.

    That looks almost like a hammered-dulcimer.. If so I like that, some great indian music on that, really childlike, sweet and mystical.

    it's a zither. A hammered dulcimer will stand off the flat surfac and require hammers (duh on that one, eh?)

    I thought zithers had one string. But I probably don't know what I'm talking about.
