Zither for sale

IMG_8151.jpeg I would like to sell my Glier, circa 1936 as I am just not playing it anymore (how many zithers should one have/one need?). And more importantly I have this overriding feeling that an instrument must be played! it is a terrible sin to leave an instrument unattended for too long. One h...

Re: New Zithers.

Re: Mechanik für Zither

I had good success sending two of mine to Jeffrey at Rubner in Markneukirchen for repairs. I went to visit him a few years ago; he's not far from Meinel and from Wünsche Zither builders. If you're able to someday, it's a great quest to visit all three plus the city's music museum.

Re: Humidty Control

I know that when I visit my mom in Kauai and bring a zither with slipping pegs, they magically become tight again (although the heat and humidity also play constant havoc on keeping the instrument tuned). I keep little guitar humidifiers next to my zithers or in the case with them as precaution here...

Re: da Sennerin ihr Herload

I dont know this particular Lied, but Kako Ishihara wrote a great zither-version of Edelweiss. See if you can get her sheet-music book that inscludes the famous Japanese tunes: Falling Cherry Blossoms and Ruins in the Moonshine
