I think 'zither' is the most common guess I have heard, when people are 
wondering what a tsimbl is. I also hear 'xylophone' a lot. One time I 
overheard an old couple arguing about it, DURING a concert. She was pretty 
sure it was a zither. He was dead certain it was a xylophone, and he couldn't 
believe she was so ignorant she didn't know a xylophone when she heard and 
saw one.

Congratulations, Itzik, on your new radio show (it is new)? How do we listen 
on-line?
