Making Music

A young Chinese girl (and Indiana University student) plays a stringed instrument (I forget the name of it) at the 2009 Bloomington Multicultural Expo which was held at Byrant Park in Bloomington yesterday. For the Monochrome Weekly Theme. For more b&w's from around the world, go here.

I guess she is a master on that instrument. I love music myselv, and can play a few instruments - but not this one (well, I haven`t tryed).

Maybe you will be inspired to give it a try, Lene. Did google to find out what it might be - a koto, I think.

Or, better yet, a guzheng, a many stringed Chinese instrument of the zither family.

Yes, I guess that would be a koto. Has a plangent sort of tone.
