Tuning Help
Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2015 2:52 pm
Hello
For me this is a new topic since I am new at this zither game.
I have ordered several books from Europe and am finding that some of them are written
totally with treble clef accompaniment while others are written with bass clef accompaniment.
Is this a case of personal preference for the authors of these books ? I understand the bass or contra bass needs to be written in the bass clef. So it looks like it might be advisable to learn both??
I have the book written by Adelbert Albrecht and the tuning for the Munich style is written so the third string..the F is tuned an octave higher then in the book by Simon Schneider Zitherschule..Is this just a typo. Tuning the string to this higher octave obviously broke my string. Ahhh sigh...I have much to learn and digest.
