Celtic Zither

I designed, built and play this 60 string Celtic Zither. It is
made with sacred magical woods, including birch, tulipwood,
and maple, with a vermillion soundboard, and abalone shell
inlay work. The instrument design incorporates Pythagorean
harmonics and a unique tuning system.

My primary musical influence is from my grandfather, Harry
Brown, who was a multi-instrumental Celtic musician. I also
acknowledge and enjoy the music of zitherists Andrew
Cronshaw and Brian Dewan, and the psaltery playing of
Appalachian folk singer Betty Smith.

The swan ... excels all others in the sweetness of its
music .... Men say that in the country of the
Hyperboreans it comes up close by being attracted
by the sound of a zither played loudly along the
shore.

Geoffrey of Monmouth, Vita Merlini
