   Waldzither

     I have a German made Waldzither that I found in an antique shop in   
   Tacoma,WA this past Sept. It was made exceptionally well (as those   
   Germans usually do). But I'm wondering where I can order strings for   
   it,and also to find a tuning key for it. The tuning key resembles a key   
   like the ones used for an autoharp,but in a smaller key size. Anyone out   
   there know anything about these instruments? I need to know the proper   
   tuning for it too. If nothing else,I'm gonna tune it like a mandolin and   
   play it like that without using the 9th bass string.
