Koto Concert in Kumamoto, Japan
lenareh > albums > creative challenge entries
Album Info:
The koto player sits at the top end of the instrument and plucks the strings in the area just to the left of the top bridge. The strings are plucked with three picks, called plectrums, which are attached to the thumb and first two fingers. The player can use their left hand to bend the strings in the area to the left of the ji. Pressing the strings toward the koto body causes them to go sharp (as much as 1 note), and pulling them towards the ji causes them to go slightly flat
