Name: GU ZHENG
The gu-zheng is a type of zither and is fitted with 12, 13, 15 or 16 strings. Originally, silk strings were used, but these are now replaced with metal strings instead. The player plucks the strings on the right hand side with the the right hand, while the left hand presses the strings on the left hand side to produce sound. The gu-zheng is similar to the koto from Japan. This instrument usually plays as a solo instrument. (Matusky and Tan, 1997).
