Playing the Zither Hand Shape
Playing the Zither emphasizes the Natural Hand Shape, that is, the shape of the hand that is in a state of relaxation with the two hands naturally hanging down when the person is standing. According to the needs of playing, the big finger is slightly spread out, and the fingers are naturally bent in the shape of a half-clenched fist. This relaxed natural hand shape is not only displayed in the static state, but also in the process of playing; it is not only the basic form of the right hand playing the strings. It is also the basic form of the left hand's string pressing and strumming.
String Position
The right hand string position is 3 centimeters from the front beam, which is the basic string position for beginners. The best place to touch the strings is at the eighth of the articulated string section (from the front beam to the zither post). This is the third octave overtone position of the note, and the sound is pure and loud in this position, which is the best point for the basic sound quality.
Because of the arrangement of the zither posts and the length of the strings, the optimal point of one-eighth of the zither's strings is more varied, and the strings can be played with a wider range of motion. By choosing different tones (light and dark, rigid and soft) during the performance, the range of movement in the string section position will be even greater.
