Do I need five contra bass sgrings?

Post by Musicmaker »

I am in the very early learning stages with the Zither.
I have a another Zither which needs all new strings.
I find i do not touch the contra bass strings anyway.
Do i need em?

I use primarily F, C, G, and occasionally D, usually in closing. The pros use them all, sharps and flats.

I like having them but you can certainluy get along without them. One of the reasons I prefer the perfecta zither is that it is so much easier to get the contrabasses. Just my 2p.
