Dunno 'bout zithers, but there are not any "currents" within a violin's body

There are only localized, largely stationary nodes that get bigger or smaller.

The air inside a violin for the most part pretty much stays put.

Zones of varying pressure push against each other a bit, at their boundaries.

There are some images of this (I think gathered by vibrating violin backs with fine sand on them) in Alberto Bachmann's "Encyclopedia of the Violin." Which I have in a box somewhere.
