Build a Microtonal Zither with Ben Luca Robertson, Ph.D.

Posted by ArbutusFolkSchool

In this one-day course, each student will construct a five-string zither with moveable bridges.

In addition to instrument-making skills, the class provides students with a hands-on introduction to the basic concepts behind just intonation, microtonal music, and different Non-Western scales. Through guided experimentation, each student will construct their own instrument and design their own unique, musical scale.

No previous musical or woodworking background is necessary and students of all skill levels are welcome.

Open to adults and teens, 14 years and older.
