Re: PBS Living in St. Louis: International Zither Gathering 2023

Hey Tom! Hope your doing well and everything is good up in Connecticut. I sure did, came in a little late but made it. I’m the guy in the black shirt unpacking the zither in the beginning of the video. I had a great time getting to meet everyone there, and I was lucky enough to have a lesson with To...

PBS Living in St. Louis: International Zither Gathering 2023

Hey all, Just sharing here for the folks that don’t frequent the Facebooks. At the start of the 2023 International Zither Gathering, there was a camera crew doing some recording for a PBS episode. Anne Prinz was kind enough to share a link to the video in the Zither Revival group on Facebook - here ...

Re: Humidifiers

When I moved from my apartment to a house at the beginning of the pandemic, I decided to make my new office in the house a humidity controlled space, primarily to keep the zithers in good condition. I have a humidity sensor wired up to a power brick with a humidifier and a dehumidifier attached to i...

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks Tom! I think I might still be able to make it out there, fingers crossed.

Playing in Public

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to play the Zither for real people for the first time. I have been attending a German Speakers meetup group for the past several months (started learning at the beginning of the pandemic), and one of the woman who attends regularly, Johanna, wanted to have a li...

2023 Zither Gathering?

Hey all!

I was curious if anyone had heard of a Zither Gathering scheduled for 2023? I would love to take a trip out to one eventually and meet some of the other people in the country who play (perhaps some of you!). IIRC, there was one last year in Washington Missouri?

Practice Video - Canario alla Tirolese

Hey all, Just wanted to share a song I had started playing sometime last year out of a Psalteria music book. Through these past few years of learning, I've found a lot of Isolde Jordon's pieces (and many other of the Psalteria contributors) very approachable. A nice break from method book waltzes, a...
