Re: Two Zithers for sale
Here are the Meinel pics. The large thick black lines along the front and back are not cracks. It is in the wood. The instrument is lovely to play and has a full rich sound. The case is its original but now without handle. When I bought it I had to get the seller to cut off the leather handle as Aus...

Re: July 25, 2018
Hi Andy. Guess what? I am practicing as per your video and I am actually making progress. Not so impossible when I get determined enough. It really does give me a sort of anchor. I am also learning to play the bass string with 4th and fifth fingers a la Dave. This gives a more powerful bass note to ...

Re: July 25, 2018
Thanks Andy.
I will make a concious effort now to try and do it.
I will have to ban melody for the time being and concentrate on what you have demonstrated.

Whoa is me!

Re: July 25, 2018
Hello Andy. I know this is Tom's question but now I have taken several double takes of your video, the qusetion applies to me as well now. As I have stated in my video, I personally cannot do these rest strokes with 2nd and 3rd fingers. I do them with the 4th only on the bass strings. I find it espe...

Re: July 25, 2018
Hi Tom. Here is how I do it right or wrong. Not as brilliant as Andy's vid but at a different camera angle. To try to do rest strokes with the the right hand 1st and second fingers I personally cannot do so I play as comfortably as I can as in the vid. I find by playing the brush strokes with 1st an...
