This Circa 1925 Marxophone is a fretless zither that has four sets of chord strings ( C major, G major, F major and D7) to be strummed with the left hand and two octaves of double melody strings (middle C- C") which are struck by metal hammers activated by the right hand. It produces a mandolin-like sound from the repeated bouncing on the strings, hence the name mandolin-guitar-zither.This instrument was sold by H. G.
