Have you seen Carol Reed’s 1949 The Third Man with Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten? With Zither music performed by Anton Karas. (I think I have the correct spelling.) It’s a fabulous film! ~Theadora
Amazing to see him play it. What an odd vibrating sound. It sounds it would fit in scene with a Mexican man in a sombrero walking a donkey, or perhaps a cowboy entering a saloon. I’d never heard this before. Thanks!
The zither does look rather well ridden, Kerbey, though I think its riddance is worth more than a scarf. Perhaps it was perpeptually out of tune. Or it was an extremely cold winter in Berlin. I agree with you, his trademark hat had to stay.

Ha! A Zither – I haven’t seen that word for years. zither, zither, zither, zither, zither, zither — fun word to write/say. 😀

Y family friends in Tennessee knew how to play a zither with a wash board band. Country blue grass 🙂

No, I haven’t seen it. I guess I need to check out some zither music!

During the 1950s, the The Third Man theme song from the film was a popular tune. I’ve seen the movie about ten times, maybe more. ~T.
Here’s a link to the theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8jN1treRKQ

Watch the The Third Man! It really works with the film. Location: Vienna. Trevor Howard and Alida Valli are also pretty darn amazing. ~T.
