definition
This concept refers to zitherlike instruments in the form of a rectangular box with a keyboard set in the long side. Strings, usually two per note, run from hitch pins on the left over a bridge to tuning pins at the right. Brass tangents on the rear portion of each key strike the strings from below to produce sound.
