  • You can download the original audio file of this piece on etiennedelavau... This arrangement of Simon and Garfunkel's hit is played on a 5-chord zither made in East Germany sometimes during the 60s or 70s. It has single melody strings. Both single and double melody strings instruments are played exactly the same way. On a zither with double melody strings, both strings are tuned in unison.

      Oh how I miss those days, Carolyn.. remember when there were so many things people could do? And how they could get together and enjoy those things together for hours on end.. Remember the simplicity and fulfillment and enrichment? Remember the enjoyment of the beautiful intricacies of the simplicity? Remember the long hours of days without mindless distractions that willed us to think and imagine and do naturally? So many things I remember.. and the people I miss so much.

      @@shaneh1003 It's funny you say all of that. So, I'll share this with you. I own a small piece of property that I'm building my paradise on. One of the rules I will maintain is for those who either live there or who visit, all phones, tablets etc will stay in the car and not come inside the gates. Inside we tend to animals (mostly ducks, possibly rabbits and a goat. Maybe some chickens too and certainly a few dogs), we will eat our own food from our garden, we will enjoy communion with each other and we will NOT allow ourselves to be distracted by such things. No tv, no computers, no nothing. Just us and nature and friends.

      @@Eduardo_3334 no thanks, what i learned from religion is that they want to control your life for their own benefit, they don't care anything about you, they're just looking for slaves to work for them. You don't need God, jesus is a liar, and you don't need heaven. It's just a carrot on a stick, they promise all kinds of things, but never deliver, especially no proof. Save yourself from the lies. It hurts me to see people still following these herectic books. They abuse your trust. There is no relationship between you and God, God doesn't need you, God never talks to you, in your prayer you are just talking to yourself. Just try it, ask god to talk to you and then remain silent, it will stay silent because God doesn't give a damn about you.

    I first heard a zither 55 years ago when my then-best friend learned to play it. She taught herself that (we were both 15), and the autoharp, and was very good at both by the time we graduated high school.
    We parted ways decades ago, so I don't know if she plays any longer, or if she's even alive. But I'll never forget the sounds she could produce on the zither---and Simon and Garfunkel were her favorite artists of the time, so she played a lot of their music.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I've come to talk with you again
    Because a vision softly creeping
    Left its seeds while I was sleeping
    And the vision that was planted in my brain
    Still remains
    Within the sound of silence
    In restless dreams, I walked alone
    Narrow streets of cobblestone
    'Neath the halo of a street lamp
    I turned my collar to the cold and damp
    When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
    That split the night
    And touched the sound of silence
    And in the naked light, I saw
    Ten thousand people, maybe more
    People talking without speaking
    People hearing without listening
    People writing songs that voices never shared
    And no one dared
    Disturb the sound of silence
    "Fools" said I, "You do not know
    Silence like a cancer grows
    Hear my words that I might teach you
    Take my arms that I might reach you"
    But my words, like silent raindrops fell
    And echoed in the wells of silence
    And the people bowed and prayed
    To the neon god they made
    And the sign flashed out its warning
    In the words that it was forming
    Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
    In tenement halls"
    And whispered in the sound of silence

      It is obvious as to the dislikes. There are no electromagnetic pickups or tonal controls. You can't dance around a stage carrying this with your shirt off and have all the pretty boy dancers look at your ass in those tight leather pants. You can't tune this to an open G chord and strum the it with a ball peen hammer while wistfully day dreaming about how much of a rock god you are when the day comes when you are in that stadium filled with other broken minds and soulless cu#ts.

      I received a Zither at Christmas in the late 60's. I has fewer strings in the wider area. It has good sound. It came with music sheets to slide under the strings which were joined with lines at each note. You played the notes following the lines from left to right. I loved be able to play the few songs that I had, I even tried to make more sheets on my own. I have introduced many children to this intriging instruments over the years, 3 of my own. My son in very musical so he will be the next to keep it. I am going to research for tutorials.

I thought of buying an electronic zither or autoharp but didn't since I knew I'd lack the motivation to learn. (I also purchased 3 unused guitars over the decades. Now am 78.)
