Where can you find facts about the zither?

It will depend on which zither, so you ought to be more specific.


Where was the zither invented?

"Zither" is the name for a range of musical instruments that have strings that do not extend past the sounding box. The word "zither" is derived from the Greek word "kithara" as is the word "guitar". A harpsichord can also be considered a zither. For the purposes of what is commonly known as a zither, those zithers originated from their respective places. The Western zither was invented in Austria and the Eastern zither was invented in China. Although it's possible neither of those countries existed when the instruments were invented. This means it is likely there is no single answer to the question asked here.


How do you make a zither?

The zither is very interesting and has a range of sounds! It is also very easy to play! The strings on the right hand side are played from the right edge in towards the middle, each set of two X four represents a note. On most zithers the notes are listed at the bottom of face somewhere. Now practising sound with it and learning by melody is usually the best way to master it so make sure its properly tuned and that part should be simple. The left hand side of the zither is the rythm chords. Much the same as what you might get on an acoustic guitar except you dont need to place the chords they are already tuned. Again, there will usually be four or five strings per chord and each one can be played separately or together to generate all kinds of sounds. When you finally get the hang of each side's separate rhythm and melody, you can then try adding rhythm to your melodies or vice versa. Enjoy!
