In 1879, Franz Waldecker published the first newsletter in the United States for the zither community. The Zitherplayer, in its way, brought together zither players throughout the states and Europe by sharing music, news and other articles of interest to promote the art of zither playing. From this time, several periodicals emerged and this page shares many of these early examples.
