Here are some links to Korean traditional instrument Gayageum, which is very similar to Zither.

The older lady is the older sister of actress Honey Lee (이하니). It’s impromptu playing with a 13 year old girl.

And if you like K-pop, here’s one for you.

Lastly, this guitar playing reminded me of Gayageum playing. :slight_smile:

It’s the Finnish national instrument, but I must admit before my studies I had never heard of it either. :wink: The Baltic countries have it too: in Estonian it’s called kannel .
The kantele has many variations, as you have seen above. In this song you can hear a kantele in the intro:

And in Music from Finland you can hear a whole home concert on kantele by someone from the band Nest.

But many countries have some kind of variation on the zither. Iraq for example:

I watched the video, and because of that, I was able to identify the instrument that a girl was playing in the anime movie version Girls und Panzer der Film :smiley: I was like, I’ve heard this before and it seems so familiar, is it a Finnish instrument? And sure enough, it was!

I was watching another drama the other day, and main character was playing a zither.

What kind of bugs me is that a lot of times in the Chinese historical dramas, the actors/ actresses don’t even play the instrument; the soundtrack overrides their music. Ah well, it’s a shame, but I understand. Not everyone has the time to learn the guqin or the zither.
