Lark Alpine Concert Zither - Munich Tuning Ever wanted to play "The Harry Lime Theme" from the movie "The Third Man"? Then this Lark Alpine Concert Zither is the instrument for you! This 32 string zither is built to use standard loop end steel strings, not $300 per set zither strings, so you can customize the tuning without being intimidated.
The 5 melody strings have a split bridge to eliminate any intonation problems common with concert zithers, and the fingerboard is scalloped for ease in playing tremolo, bends and slurs. The 27 accompaniment strings are tuned in the traditional "circle of fifths" tuning, which is far easier to actually use than to describe.
Think of it like using bar chords on a guitar, similar to a accordion layout. The notes are stamped into the body for ease of tuning. Though used traditionally in Northern European folk and classical music, the Alpine Concert Zither BEGS to be applied to jazz, new age and soundtracks.
This Zither is in (Adam Darr) Munich Tuning (a,a,d,g,c) [ZIToooM].
