Cetara

The cetera or cetara is a plucked string instrument played in Corsica.

It has sixteen, or sometimes eighteen, metal strings, running in paired courses,[1] with a body similar to the mandolin, but larger, and is plucked with a plectrum made of horn or tortoiseshell.

[2] The Italian term also occurs in historical sources and usually interpreted to indicate a musical instrument of the cittern family.
