This vintage Fischer Fidola Mandolette zither was made in the early 1900s and features an action that incorporates the best features of the Marxophone and Guitarophone. In particular, it has wooden hammers attached to tempered spring steel, with white and black buttons as the actuators of the hammer action. With a hand-painted stylized decoration and a beautiful semi-gloss black finish, this instrument's appearance is almost as beautiful as its sound.
