early morning pipa playing before Stephen and I recorded

and an odd instrument related to the lute, and a very
loud one as well. normally played vertically with
artificial nails. early morning with cats around. still
bleary waiting for long covid, lc, legal catastrophe,
to disappear. the instrument is tuned in intersected
fifths as in a1 - d - e - a2 or some such. so you have
a whole tone between the 2nd and 3rd surrounded by
friendly octaves. i've been using it on a very old
violaline from 1905 or so, that i modified. many
possibilities. Azure's videoing. one final note, the
pipa is as heavy as all heck, probably wouldn't work
with a marching band, i'm wondering if Mao might have
burned them as well, along with the guqin. -
