    Thanks for such an informative and well-made video! I appreciate how you took an instrument that many consider ancient and demonstrated how it could be incorporated into modern music both acoustically and electronically. 👏

    This is so interesting! I saw people playing Guzheng in China! It is so simple yet beautiful and has a deep history! I’ve never seen Guzheng playing popular songs today! I even have one in my house!

    The Guzheng is something I always wanted to learn about more. A friend of mine plays it, so I was going to research about it. Never got the chance though, until now. Thanks!

    This is so beautiful. I love listening to music and it was great to be able to expand the boundaries of the music that I listen to. I hope to hear more Chinese instruments like this in the future.
