Well, during the 19th century there was a version of the psaltery mass produced in both the US and Germany known as the guitar zither. It kinda looks like the image you've provided. There was also the concert zither, which was played during the war.

The Heritage Hillside Series is bringing back Greenwood Tree for its Wednesday, Aug. 10, concert.
The duo of Bill Cagley on guitar, mandolin, bodhran and limberjack, and Stu Janis on hammered dulcimer and bowed psaltery make up Greenwood Tree. Musical partners since 1985, they perform lively and lyrical traditional music of the British Isles. The unique sound of the St. Paul, Minn. duo is a blend of lively jigs and reels, haunting airs and sweet waltzes, with melodies deftly traded between instruments.
Bill Cagley bought his first guitar the day he graduated from high school and has been a full-time musician since 1987. Cagley has recorded two CDs with the quartet Cagley, Schafer, Black and Njoes, and he appeared on Greg Brown’s recording “Down in There.” Cagley is a regular solo performer operating with the motto, “Music of all ages for all ages.” For many years he has led the jam sessions at Minnesota Bluegrass & Old Time Music Association festivals, and he entertains at historic sites, senior centers and family outings, among others.
Bowed Psaltery Music: Top 5 Reasons to Learn an Instrument
As adults, we often do not take on new challenges because of the fear of failure. Learn a simple instrument, such as bowed psaltery, can do so much success easy. If you have never heard a beautiful song that made you wish you played an instrument, do not let fear of failure prevent you from enjoying the fulfillment of play. Playing music engages the whole brain. You must read the notes, counting rhythm, and play the note. Many areas of the brain are stimulated in the act of playing a melody on an instrument.And while that sounds like a lot to do both, it is surprising how easily your brain can adapt to do this. Try to remember the first time you're behind the wheel of a car. Conduct, you do many more things at once and you did that!
Falling in Love With a Bowed Psaltery : BoomerCafé™ … it's your place
When my parents saw that I really wanted to play music (just not the violin), they paid for guitar and then piano lessons. But it was no use. I was hopelessly musically challenged.
Over the years I tried different instruments to see if I had outgrown this affliction and each time I was reminded that I hadn’t.
Then while wandering the internet, I discovered the Bowed Psaltery .
It seems to be made for the musically challenged like me!
The Bowed Psaltery is a simple stringed instrument. It sounds a bit like the violin with the droning quality of the bagpipes. If you love Celtic music, Folk Music, or any music that stirs the soul, you’ll love the sound of the Bowed Psaltery. You can find some videos of the instrument being played by enthusiasts … click here .
As a child, I grew up listening to Peter, Paul and Mary sing ballads that embedded themselves in my mind. Folk Music, maybe due to that early influence, has always had a pull on me. Who among us can’t sing at least half the words from Puff the Magic Dragon?
