Re: George Washburn concert zither

I haven't seen an email or message, but we can continue here if you like.
Does the crack extend beyond the sound hole or is it only in the ring around the sound hole?
Does the instrument "buzz" when it's played?
Please send more pictures.

Re: Making a Zither, question about string length

Thanks for the replies. I was able to make strings from dulcimer wire, and retrofitted guitar and bass quitar strings by untwisting some of the winding from the strings.

Re: Rectangular tuning pegs

Hi there. I had the same problem...no tuner! I did go to a clock maker looking for a key, and he offered to cut a piece of brass and modify a commonly available mining wrench. Thought I could do it myself with a tin can lid and steel epoxy...needless to say, I ended up making my own Zither with mode...

Making a Zither, question about string length

I am making a Zither that is about longer than a standard Zither. How long are standard concert Zither string sets? Are bass Zither string sets longer, or does that just refer to the "bass" strings on the Zither?


Tha KS!
