Stringed instrument plucked when lying flat (6)

I believe the answer is:

zither

(Other definitions for zither that I've seen before include "Instrument played on the knee" , "Harp-like instrument" , "Stringed instrument laid flat to play" , "music player" , "Instrument played on the knees" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
