Hi June, I believe Tom is correct. I don't recall ever having posted a chart for Viennese tuning.

Re: Munich VS Vienna
If you’re fortunate enough to meet up with a more experienced zither player here in US, that player will most likely be using Munich tuning. So, for the sole sake of your future instructor, I would suggest going with Munich tuning. My .02.

I second all of the above recommendations. I would also recommend searching Youtube for “Slovenski citrarski kvartet.” They are super! As you have an interest in comparing Viennese vs Munich, I can offer that the most famous player of Viennese zither, Anton Karas, adjusted the tuning for his zither ...

Re: String material
Hi Max, you won't need steel core strings, unless you're planning to use your zither with an electromagnetic pickup. Everyone here has a personal preference, most likely, but I would recommend nylon strings for your replacement. Because they're longer, you can buy harp zither strings and use them on...

Re: Im Heimgarten
Hi Pete, the "Im Heimgarten" books (there are three in the series) are available at notenbuch.de. Shipping to Australia for one book looks to be ~7 Euros. I have *never* had an issue ordering from this site. Here's the direct link: https://www.notenbuch.de/Search.html?searchparam=heimgarten

I found this zither arrangement while looking through an ancient box of sheet music from the San Francisco Zither Club. Thought others would like to see it too, so I'm posting it here. Enjoy!

Re: Forum and Website Moving
Thanks Tom, it went smoother than expected, thankfully. Zither US is now on a dedicated server, so I expect there will be performance enhancements as well. Just a FYI to everyone, the website, www.zither.us, has been migrated and is now accessible. Please review when you have the opportunity. Your c...
