Gewa/Bohm Waldzither – normal tuners
This is an old domeback Waldzither,
made in
It has the original rosewood finger-board and brass frets.
The spruce top is in good condition, with ONE
repair. The 2-piece ‘flat’ back is sound. The
tuners are original, and in good condition, but the
tail-piece and rosewood and bone bridge are new. The
instrument top only is refinished
in Tru-oil. It has been strung as a
waldzither in C with Optima waldzither, silver-wound,
strings, and is now playing well with a
full, ringing, sonorous sound and
an easy
action.
Other than cleaning, I have carried out the following work on
this instrument: 1) repaired 1 shrinkage splits in the
top; 2) revarnished the top; 3)shimmed the original fingerboard for a
better bridge height; 4) removed slight warpoing around soundhole and
re-enforced beneath; 5)made and fitted new bridge in rosewood and bone;
and 6) fitted new tail piece and strap button.
