Zither tuning

[Gary Fluke]

LeAnn,

I am strictly an aural tuner, but there is an electronic tuner that may work for you.  It is the Korg LCA 120 and it is available in the States for $90 U.S.  I have never tried it, but it is said to work pretty well.  There are those on this list who know way more than I about electronic tuners, however I believe that the limited range of 38-notes that are neither very high nor low do not present too much of a challenge for the less expensive tuning devices.

By the way, I loved the wooden flute sound I heard on your website.

  Hi, I'm new to the list and am not a piano tuner...but I found your list when searching for info about zither tuning.


  I've just acquired a 38-string concert zither and I need to figure out how to tune it!  Do any of you have a tuning chart?  I gather that my zither (a 7/22 Luftresonanz-Zither) would be tuned in the "Viennese" mode?


  Thanks very much for your help...looking forward to learning more,
