扬琴 yáng qín： A Chinese Hammered Dulcimer
The yángqín is used both as a solo instrument
and in ensembles.
I am the Yang Qin player in the above picture. With over 25 years experience, I have been invited to many performances in China, HK and U.S.

ReplyDeleteThe yángqín is such an interesting example of how traditional Chinese music combines melody, rhythm, and distinctive instrumental technique. Seeing it performed both as a solo instrument and alongside a Chinese music ensemble highlights its versatility beautifully. With decades of performance experience behind the demonstration, the description gives readers a personal perspective as well. Students interested in expanding their understanding of instruments and performance traditions may also enjoy exploring different approaches to music education.
