A cittern is a stringed musical instrument that is similar to a mandolin but with a distinct pear-shaped body and a flat back. It typically has four or five courses of metal strings that are played with a pick or by fingerpicking. The cittern is known for its bright and lively sound, making it popular in traditional folk music. It has a fretted neck and tuning pegs at the headstock for adjusting the pitch of the strings. The cittern has a long history and is used in various musical genres, ranging from Renaissance and Baroque music to contemporary folk and Celtic music.
