It's basically a 2000 year old flat guitar called the Goo-Zen or Gu-Zheng. Each A-shaped fulcrum is like an adjustable fret that can slide left and right by the user before playing, it's part of the tuning process, I think. These fulcrums are held down by nothing other than the string tensions, if you remove the strings, they will fall off. These fulcrums are arranged on a slant so the string closest to the player produces the highest note, opposite of the guitar. A guitar has only 6 strings with many non-adjustable frets (fulcrums), the further up the fret board, the higher the note. A Goo-Zen is the opposite, it has more strings but only one fret and note per string without bending. On a guitar, one fret = one note. If you want a higher note, you have to move up a fret or bend the string laterally to produce the twang. On a Goo-Zen, depends on how much you push on the string so each string is capable of producing more notes and more pronounced "twangs". It's also like a harp, except I don't think you can only pluck the strings, there is no bending involved to alter the note.

[@roger0929]

Harps have pedals or levers to change notes. However, I don't think you can get the "twang" sound from a harp.

[@robertshorthill6836]

The goozyang strings are supported by indivdual bridges that are indeed held in place by string tension. Wish I could talk to a musician to learn more about it. Is the left side of "bridges" even played or just for making the note sharp when pushed down, like a guitar where the string is stretched over the fretboard during a fretted note ??

that's amzing，jesus

[@robertshorthill6836]

Guz-yang is the presumed prononciation. Fascinating instrument. When was it developed, how long did it take ??

[@hiSPACEmango]

Check out 2cellos - wake me up by Avicii cover. Edit: she also does an incredible cover of "numb" by Linkin Park.

[@RoarinRoots]

Thanks for the back story

[@evaezsiasnekiss2859]

Fantasztikus, azt viszont nem tudom milyen hangszeren játszik.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jueneturner8331]

It is a guzheng (pronounced "goo jung".

[@robertshorthill6836]

Thanks for the correct way to pronounce. My guess was goo yang. Now if I could just get a brief history of how it came into the world. A fantastically beautiful instrument. Is it played by other than this talented Moyun and other artists of Chinese origin?
