"Ernst Volkmann of Ingolstadt, Germany, introduced one of the most important innovations in the design of the Zither: the Zither in Psalter-form. It was not easy for Volkmann to buck the traditional notions of how one should make a Zither. Combining acoustical knowledge and computer-aided design techniques with his deep reservoir of experience as a craftsman, the Volkmann's Zither in Psalter-form also echoes principles understood in ancient civilizations. Here is the story of the development of a new Zither form, written by Volkmann and renowned Zither player, Fritz Wilhelm, in 1998."
