Roderick Schuster 38 string Luftresonanz Concert Zither

Post by Dave »

A reader of the web site shared photos and the following note for a zither purchased years ago at Zapf's Music Store.

"Many years ago we purchased a Zither from Zapf Music Store in Olney, Philadelphia, PA. This zither was made in Philadelphia by Roderich Schuster. Our daughter took lessons from Mr. Zapf."

My first really good zither was a Schuster from Zapf's. It was a 40 string harfenzither. I got it from him in 1975. I wish I still had it. I traded it in to Sofian for the 42 string Meinel. I still have a picture of me with the instrument taken at Winfield, Kansas in 1976.
