Sorry to have overlooked that. Yes, ゴン is in the kanwa part of 広辞苑. I've added it to kanjidic.

Shouldn't we add the go-on reading ゴン to KanjiDic?

I've been reading up on "zither" and it seems it's very widely used for plucked string instruments. Although "zither" is German it's from a Greek root; in fact the same root as "guitar". And it's used widely as a family name, so I guess I'll just have to accept it. "zither-like instrument" is too clumsy.

english wikipedia says six or seven but this is unreferenced and is not supported by japanese wikipedia, britannica or any japanese dictionary
