Have you tried this publication
Boone, Hubert. De hommel in de Lage Landen (The Hommel in the Low
Countries). Brussels Museum of Musical Instruments Bulletin, Vol. V, 1975.
This unique publication contains scores of photographs of old European
fretted zithers and their players and even includes pictures of American
maker Jethro Amburgey and traditional Tennessee player Lucy Steele.
Incredibly, this item was in print in 1997 and probably still is. Contact
Frits Knuf Publishers, P.O. Box 720, 4116 ZJ Buren, The Netherlands, ask for
their catalog of Musicology, and check under the listing for the Brussels
Museum of Musical Instruments Bulletin.

Mike,

Here are a couple of useful URLs:

Das Scheitholz
(German intro, with historical descriptions)

http://www.sumerauer.de/dausenkunz/epinett.htm
Epinett des Vosges
(German intro)

There ought to be a Low Saxon (Low German) name for the instrument, but I have
no idea what it is.  *_Hummel_?

Leve Lüüd', weett wen mank Ju, wo dat ole Musikinstrument "Scheitholz"
(nedderlandsch _Hommel_) up Neddersassisch (Nedderdüütsch) heett?  Kiekt maal
