Barcarolle (J. Offenbach)

An adaptation on the 5-chord zither. This track is available on Bandcamp:
etiennedelavau...
The instrument I am playing is the red model, dated around 1930, with the cherubs and the butterfly. This model, called "Guitar Mandolin Banjo" was very popular in Australia. There are also some with the black background (same decorations). They were German imports and were sold door to door by a company called Austral Music.

Hi John, I have a tutor available (see my website at etiennedelavaulx.com.au ) with many pieces written out. The Barcarolle is a more advanced piece and is not in the tutor. Please note that my zither is a 5 chord zither and that I use a specific tuning. My tutor is written for an instrument tuned to this tuning. For more information, contact me via my website. Cheers
