@anabellik nahhh... My shamisen teacher, who is primarily a koto player uses silk and has all her students use silk for the most part. and on a side note I use silk strings on my shamisen. They sounds soooooooooooo good. The nylons are meh. Not awful; just not preferable.
@eburel506 dosen't really need to stretch alot... most tensions are about 2 pound draw weights which is about the average to secure the bridge down and get a good tuning... which in order to snap one string immediately you have to press on both side of the bridge or cut it using scissors
@HamburgerTrain11 Hey, they keywords has some names, maybe from the player. This is what the keywords are translated into: "Tradisjonell folkemusikk, Sachiko Yoshihara 邦 楽 Senzoku Gakuen Koto Koto Koto"
I believe this is called "sanka" (praise song), a koto piece by the father of modern koto himself, the late Sawai, Tadao. I am curious if this is an artist or just a performer. I am interested in those who create their own music just as much as they perform other's music. But mostly artists I enjoy more. This is a great performance of the piece, a little too sped up in sections than the original but I love it still. Bravo!!!
a very beautiful performance!

Wow the strings of the koto really have to be sterched to get the right sound. How do they not break alot of strings doing that.

@eburel506 The strings are quite thick and they don't usually break until they are worn out.
Silk strings would indeed break very often, but nowadays everyone uses nylon ones.

The koto really is a beautiful sounding instrument . I have never heard of it until I heard a Japanese rock song where it was used.
