I have absolutely no connections to China whatsoever, don't speak Chinese and my sole reason for learning guzheng is 'because I like the sound'.
The whole experience is very strange to me. For one, it's got a lot more strings (21) than I'm used to, and the size of it slightly intimidates me. Playing technique is also alien to me as I'm not used to playing with the picks quite literally taped to my fingers.
Does anyone else here play the guzheng? Or any Chinese instrument?
