Sweet, Celestial Sounds Rise Up from Zither Heaven

Music is powerful; it can teach, inspire, heal and unite. It has been shown that even in the womb, babies respond and move to music. There are many studies of the effects of music on the brain that lead scientists to say that children who are exposed to music, or learn to play an instrument, do better in school than those who don’t. Music is an art that can bring people together and John Richardson, Rich Candelora and Rich Ludwig can certainly attest to that. The trio first met in the precision machining field. After completing apprenticeships, the colleagues were employed in the same shop for several years before going their separate ways to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors.

However, when John wanted to expand Zither Heaven, a musical instrument business, he could not think of better men for the job than Rich and Rich. While the company has grown considerably over the years, Zither Heaven is still composed of a small workforce operating in the U.S.A. Every member possesses the knowledge of the entire process, from the delivery of raw materials to the packaging of the finished instruments. This allows for critical examination of the product at every stage.

Zither Heaven’s three founders cultivate a spirit of innovation around the shop, where new products are constantly tested and improved. Zither Heaven’s commitment to quality resources, superior construction and excellent service, while blending modern technology and traditional craftsmanship, allows them to deliver their best to customers.

Zither Heaven’s line of great sounding instruments for kids and adults includes banjos, harps, psalteries, rock-it sticks, thumb pianos, ukuleles and ukulele banjos. The instruments are constructed with sustainable native North American hardwoods, including Cherry, Black Walnut, Birch and Maple. Their thumb pianos are very popular with children as young as six years old, because anyone who picks one up can make a great sound and with very little effort many familiar tunes can be played.

Customers can find a large selection of sheet music books for their instruments as well as accessories like strings, bows, mini rosin blocks, psaltery cases and tuning wrenches. Their website also has free sheet music available in PDF files with traditional childhood favorites, including “She’ll Be Comin’ ‘Round the Mountain,” “On Top of Old Smokey,” and “Red River Valley.”
