Properly installed strings make your instrument more enjoyable to play.
Here is a short video that demonstrates how to properly install wire strings on zither pins. I use a Reverie Harp in the video but the techniques are applicable to replacing wire strings on zither pins on a variety of instruments such as Kanteles, Monochords, Bowed Psalterys, Hammered Dulcimers, or any number of one-off zithers.
