Tommy Garside is my Uncle. We made this video in 1996. Sadly, in 2002 he has passed away. I wish he were here to answer your question. But my guess is you would need a bridge... But I would strongly recommend you ask someone else who knows waaaay more about this type of thing than I do. :)
hi. its nice to watch a person like yourself do something that is well explained and easy to follow.i will try building one of these.im 75 but i suppose your never too old. les
Sad that he has passed on to the big music shop in heaven. This video shows just how talented he was. Wonderful little Zithers he created. I am just starting into msic, and Zithers are really cool, and apparently easy to make and play
I am making one from an old autoharp I made a template from. I glued two wxact pieces and cut out a center with the jigsaw. I do not have a band saw. The whole piece is solid. I will later find some good sound board and make a top and back. I like your Bridge pins. I may do that. I have to buy some panel from Lowes. I hope to find strings for it. I made the strings a half inch apart so kids can easliy also play it.. Iam also starting a 30 string Celtic harp. I have made a few of those.
i fear i do not have the talent or equipment for this but if i did i would really love to try. what this man made is absolutely beautiful. im amazed :)

Great video! Can I build a simple one useing a board zither pins & hitch pins to connect the wire? Do I need a bridge, I rather not have a bridge just strings connecting from one side to the other. Will this work? Also what do you think about using cherry wood and purple heart wood. Thank you for your help and time!
I have a question...I was in Lowes Hardware store and noticed a thin wood called Lauan wood Would it work for a soundboard on a zither type instrument? Thanks
"My wife collects Santa Clauses" says the man with the big white beard. Really nice instruments.

Thank very much for the video ,It gives others an idea how they were made .The music is so beautiful to hear Well done with Tommy's work
8:15 "Gonna have to use a few clamps here" LMAO! Just a few! "Thumbs Up" if you also found that hilarious!
What a talented man, and what a good thing that his advice and example has lived on. Well done
You are a very talented woodburner. I love the southwestern drawing.

A small brad nailer would help your glue up.
love it bud.
great video. Thank you very much. The only part that was unclear to me was how he fastened the strings to the hitch pins. Could you perhaps clarify?
Then the two cuts of the slanted segment are about 15°, or one is about 25°? greetings from Mexico : )
