The Guitar-Zither Clearinghouse
(latest update 11 May 03)... a web site to provide information and communication about the Menzenhauer Guitar-Zither and all of those wonderful relatives with strings grouped in chords.
The site is, of course, always under construction, and the minimalist style is purposeful - I hate to wait for pages to load.
(Hey, check it out - now there's music over
here! And here...)But first... just exactly what is a zither? And what's the background of the guitar-zither?
