Hello, I've been researching the life of a former zither player, composer and music teacher from Philadelphia. Originally from Prussia, Philip Louis Brachet became a naturalized citizen of the US in 1860 and resided in Philadelphia until his passing in 1889. For those interested, I've written a short biography on him that is now posted at the following address: http://www.zither.us/?q=philip.louis.brachet I'm hoping to discover more about this zither player from Prussia. If anyone could offer resources that may provide additional insight into the life of Philip Brachet, it would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, if you've had an ancestor who was a zither player and would like to share their story, I'd be very interested in learning more. best regards, David Kyger www.zither.us
