Sincerely, Vi An (Canada/Vietnam).

It’s kinda strange how they used a Chinese song played on a Guzheng zither as the BGM for this. Would make more sense using a Japanese tune played by one of their Kotos. Perhaps this track was added by a fan.

[@takayanagi-senseissurprise2104]

tkviper Most people from the West get confused between Chinese and Japanese culture.

[@NicThatOneKid]

Did the Koto originate from China ?

[@rickspectrum]

@@takayanagi-senseissurprise2104 yeah, I wonder what the Greeks and the Germans think... :D

[@takayanagi-senseissurprise2104]

@@NicThatOneKid Yes they did

[@NicThatOneKid]

@@takayanagi-senseissurprise2104 I have a lot of study to do, I remodel homes in Japan and I found one at a demolition site, I took it home , bought tuning pegs and am learning but slowly ☺️

[@rcbuggies57]

So crazy hearing how much individual plucks sound like a banjo, but the inflection just transforms it into this ancient masterpiece.

[@PukaHeadMan]

Beautiful instrument, beautiful sound.

[@wilhelmmatthies5921]

magnificent! ...also thanks for showing the process....equally important!

[@kjell159]

I read koto I hear guzheng I like these hallucinations :)

[@terrancejeffrey6175]

you probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me atm you can watch all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my gf for the last few weeks xD

[@andersjulius4610]

@Terrance Jeffrey yea, have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :)

[@jasonisbored6679]

It seems like, from the comments, they actually are making a chineze instrument that (predated? according to wikipedia) the Koto, but with their traditional koto-making techniques. I've got to say, I think I'm going to give it a try for making a koto (using the 13 string koto tunings and whatnot).

[@yobrojoost]

Nice video, showing how a koto is made. Nice music too!

[@Innocentforscratcher]

...not a koto, a gu zheng, the "grand father" of a koto... main differences are the count of strings, shape and measures...

[@yetismarmol6871]

ありがとうございます

[@marctremblay8087]

Its a very beautiful instrument to play and quite therapeutic !!!

[@prayasuda1454]

Dear Westerners ( lol I sound those Ali's express sale rep's) This company normally makes Kotos. However, recently they use koto's methods to implement making guzhengs. They sound amazing. Well, their methods could trace back to Tang's period. Last but not least, these guzhengs are expensive as f&^%*, and they are costing about 12k to 15k.

[@lucaskaasbll2310]

But it makes sense that they are so expensive, some of the guzhengs and kotos they make has up to 60-year aged rose wood and many other woods but most of them are 40-year aged. But that is still a long time. And one of the guzhengs in the wedding series has 18k or 24k real gold string holes and the decoration on it is hand sewn real gold and silver threads. So it is clearly a luxury!

[@andyho999]

how long does it usually take to make a koto.

[@dracokaiser]

So they make strictly chinese style, or Japanese also?

[@cleitondecarvalho431]

Gratifying job is that.

[@bilibala9181]

Where can this machine be made？

[@cubedimension2617]

[@nitheshpuzan]

Wow 😍 it came from heaven so beautiful 🎶🎶

[@HeartaSweet]

What's the purpose of burning the wood?

[@yobrojoost]

It hardens the wood, making it more resonant.

[@লক্ষ্মীছাড়া-ত৬র]

can the factory ship a black coloured Chinese guzheng 165cm in India ?

[@菊名裕]

It is possible

[@লক্ষ্মীছাড়া-ত৬র]

how much will be total price including shipping charge of that guzheng?

[@ade29116]

That was a guzheng not a koto

[@RoyalGuardEziode]

no wonder why they're so expensive

[@rix077]

[@Zebula1918]
