zither banjo right hand technique
I recently found this article in a 1927 copy of "RHYTHM" the Magazine for Drummers and Banjoists!!
It explains the use of the right hand for playing the ZB. I find it interesting to see the differentiation between the "Strong forceable touch" of the banjo player and the "Light delicate touch" of the Zither banjo players.

Yes, it's similar in comment to the articles BS wrote for Turner's magazine "Keynotes". There's a couple to be found here: http://www.zither-banjo.org/pages/style.htm.

Yes, I agree with the idea of a light delicate touch on the ZB. When I play hard, like on a regular banjo, the ZB sounds completely different and unpleasant. This is one of the hardest techniques to master on the ZB. It really does respond to a light delicate touch.
