zither
From an article in the New York Times about an actor learning to play the piano for the stage: "While she describes herself as "wild" and "willing to do anything" in a lesson, she feels she learned more about music instruction from a Chinese musician who taught her to play a zither, she says, than from any classical piano instructor she has had." From Merriam Webster's online dictionary:-
a stringed instrument having usually 30 to 40 strings over a shallow horizontal soundboard and played with pick and fingers
