Thread Name: Tuning and Playing the Zither
Subject: RE: Tuning and Playing the Zither
hi everyone,i bought a zither in a second hand store here in switzerland and started searching the internet for tuning guides,and found this thread, the zither i bought is a 32 string instrument plus 5 strings on a fret board,total of 37 strings,it says that it's a concert instrument built by Anton Brauer from Schonbach in 1928, it's in really quite remarkable condition, now i just have to spend the time exploring it, once i can find strings, i'm sure that there are suppliers in germany as i have seen quite a few played on german and swiss t.v. i have been a pro guitar player for many years and look forward to the challenge of this fascinating instrument, cheers for now.
