I reader of the web site poses the following question. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Were Adolf Meinel Sr. and A. Moritz Meinel the same person? I have come across zithers on Ebay.de that listed an A. Moritz Meinel as the maker.

I dont know the exact year of birth of A. Moritz Meinel, but i can say he is defenitly another person.

There were much more Meinels in Germanny. There also existed a Meinel Herold in Klingenthal and a Friedrich Wilhelm Meinel in Dresden.

Adolf Moritz Meinel was a cousin of Ulrike Meinel's grandfather Adolf Friedrich Meinel (1872-1953). From her I know that Adolf Moritz built solid instruments. However, soundwise they didn't set themselves apart from the bulk of zither builders.
