 Beautiful work Kevin, it really rings and sings. I hear that you play just fine, we all know you understand how to make um sing!

I love the zither drones! clapper

I just listened to this again Kevin- it's awesome powerful.

As I recall you made this zither for yourself...do you still have it?  What was the scale length?

Thanks Diane and Ken. Most know I am not really a player,but, a builder, I will try to get a player to try it out so we can see it's potential .

Thanks Patty , it might be a bit too full I have to work on the recording to see if matering it will help to improve the sound. I doesn't seem to be so overpowering while playing it.

I have finished my Kratz Zither ,and decided I would try and record a sound sample. It is tuned DAAAAD and it rings really well. I am not sure the recording does it justice, but, I'm still trying. 482_forums.jpg OldJoe%20Clark%20%28New%29.mp3
