This is an excellent film, with a great eye to detail, that allows the viewer to appreciate the fine workmanship that goes into creating each instrument. Brilliant!
Thank you for your kind remarks. We shall do our best and hope there is still room for such handmade items in the future. With kind regards from Switzerland.
Why are you so proud? Switzerland is base to some if the most evil people and institutions in the world: Davos WEF, Bilderberg, BIS etc. You could stop the evil but you don't and instead want people believe you're simple folk making handmade children's toys. Evil people 👿!
I have little musical talent but the sheet music concept at the end is absolutely brilliant. Thank you Mr. Heinzer and all of the other people appearing in this video. Ausgezeichnet.
@@AlainHospenthal You are welcome. I would very much love to visit someday. I am retired now and would love to immigrate but I cannot find any statistics for Americans. This is understandable as I presume you take measures to keep us out from befouling your wonderful country .
Ein sehr interssanter Dokumentarbericht, über den Instrumentenbau der Schweizer Zither, die mir bisher nicht bekannt war, obwohl ich selbst Konzert Zither spiele und Zitherbauer in Wien, Markneukirchen, Erlangen und Ihringen a. K. kennenlernte. Leider sind Zitherspieler eine Seltenheit in Kanada und am Aussterben. Merci un witermache! Rolf Loth, Penticton, BC
Sehr geehrter Herr Loth, besten dank für Schauen und ihre freundliche Mitteilung. Auch hier in der Schweiz sind sie ZithernspielerInnen leider eher selten. Herzliche Grüsse nach Kanada.
Fantastic video and channel! Looking forward to more of your content. D Schwiz brucht meh so RU-vid-Kanäu! Erinneret mi chli a "Der letzte seines Standes", Qualität isch ömu sicher ufem gliich höche Niveau, Chapeau!
fabulous video!!! beautiful instrument. i might try to build one! what is scale? what size is the plain wire used? what size are the pins? how thick is the spruce top? can you use maple for the back? so many questions!
Hello Bill, thank you for your comment. If you need more details as to materials etc. I recommend you send me a direct inquiry to info@sightsandplaces.ch. Kind regards from Switzerland, Alain
@@AlainHospenthal Danke! Ich übe an drei Konzert-Zithern als Anfänger mit 69. Die Zither ist ein fantastisches Instrument! Gruß ausgedruckt Nähe von Frankfurt.
Awesome nice video and work you do to make this nice zither, I am dreaming to play the zither also, but this instrument is not so simple to play, but I keep on to try, greetings from Remi, Belgium and have a good and nice new year !!!
I JUST BOUGHT ME A SIX CHORD, DOUBLE STRING. WELL I WENT I N HUFFING AND A PUFFING. WAITED TO SEE HOW MY WIFE WAS GOING TO RESPOND. SHE LOOKED WORRIED. SHE SAID ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? TOLD HER, I NEEDED TO TALK TO HER, ABOUT SOMETHING. HUFFED AND PUFFED S OME MORE. SHE WAS AT ATTENTION. THEN I SAID I NEED TO BUY ME A HARLEY DAVIDDON MOTORCYCLE. I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO PASS OUT. THEN I SAID, NO, I JUST NEED TO GO TO HOME DEPOT AND BUY ME A FEW TOOLS. SHE LET OUT A BIG SIGH. OH, YEAH. OH, YEAH. THATS NO PROBLEM. SHE SAID WHAT ELSE YOU NEED. I SAID A ZITHER. SHE WHAT IS THAT. SO I SHOWED HER. S HE SAID, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THAT? I SAID GO TO THE RETIREMENT CENTERS AROUND AND PLAY SONGS. SHE SAID, THATS MUCH SAFER THAN RIDING A HARLEY AROUND. I EXPECT YOU WILL BE AROUND A LOT LONGER , NOW.
