Re: Newbie; The Journey Begins!
Hello Jose! Congratulations on your purchase. You have a fine instrument. In answer to you question, I have not made very much progress on learning to play. I will, eventually. So, there isn't any advice to offer. My time is consumed with accordeon, bagpipes, tuned cowbells, and alpine jodel. Zither...

Re: Newbie; The Journey Begins!
Wow! This is the tardiest I've ever been in replying to a message. Soooo sorry...I haven't been on the forum to see the post. I've yet to begin, but have received the learning program from Australia.

Re: Newbie; The Journey Begins!
Did you find a tuning wrench? What is the size of the tuning pegs? square or rectangular? If interested, e-mail your mailing address. Rudi Hi Rudy. I haven't determined the size of the square pegs: they look to be approximately 3 to 4 mm, but I should get a caliper measurement. The peg ends all loo...

Re: Newbie; The Journey Begins!
Hi Evelyn! Thank you for the nice note. And the information is very enlightening. Having never seen a zither of this configuration, I was hesitant to acquire it, but then saw it in person; it was love at first sight. I'd like to find a zitherist within a few hundred miles; for lessons and to hear th...

Re: Newbie; The Journey Begins!
Thank you, Andy.
A scales method/system recommendation is exactly what I need first. Next, determine if I'm smart enough and have the dexterity to put it all together. No shortcuts in music, just study and practice.

Re: Newbie; The Journey Begins!
Hi Tom! Thanks for the welcome. I've listened to traditional alpine music for 30+ years, which of course, is loaded with zither. We play accordion, tuned cowbells and jodel. After purchasing what turned out to be a wall-hanger zither on Ebay 20 yrs ago, I decided to wait for the right one/right time...

Newbie; The Journey Begins!
Hello. It's real now; I'm going to learn to play this wonderful instrument. Web-based resources will be the mainstay, given the fact that I live in north-eastern Washington State. There's a wealth of information on this site / forum. I'll try to find answers before making blanket requests. Acquired ...
