Tuning Scale For Triola Mechanical Zither
By Uwe Gernert

Hi Don!



Greetings from Germany.  I'm a little bit astonished at your question,

since the scale usually is printed below the strings on the Triola.  How

bad is the state of your instrument?



Anyways, your question is answered by John Wolff's Triola article in the

2000.03.09 MMD. [ http://www.mmdigest.com/MMMedia/triola.html ]

Here is the scale as provided by him:

Attachment thumbnail I don't know the status of your instrument, but if you need sets of new strings, those are available in Europe at different sources. For a bargain, look here: https://schneidermusik.de/shop1/product_info.php/products_id/1762 And those strings still fit. If you can give us some pictures of your Triola feel free to upload them to MMD [using the procedure for attaching pictures, to avoid trnsmission problems]! Uwe Gernert
