Zither tuning

[David Boyce]

I vaguely recall tuning a Zither many years ago, but it was a bit old and 
beat-up.  In more recent times, I was asked by a piano customer to tune her 
Autoharp. She had the instructions, and the little lever, intended for 
self-tuning by the owner.  I have to say, I think the average owner would 
find it EXTREMELY difficult to achieve a decent tuning on an Autoharp, that 
model anyway.  I found manipulating the lever very difficult, calling for 
great reserves of precision control along with strength.

Best,

David.
