I decided to reuse the original back plate. Although it broke into several pieces when I removed it, I think with some careful gluing I can get it back on. I wonder what this will do to the sound of the zither though...
The stone blocks are there to press the back plate on the braces.
Those were all the wood clamps I could find. :-)
You can see the glue oozing out at the joints. The polyurethane glue foams a lot, but once dried, it can easily be removed. I will sand and fill any imperfections later, before I put on a new layer of paint.
