[toa1iruini]

this like is to make up for that one dislike

[jupiter100b]

good music

[JRCrowley]

Cool sounds.

[Uberboy07]

I fell in love with it's sound. I remember hearing it a lot on Avatar(anime) & other old martial art flicks & being just in aww of it's beauty. :>

[wzb3]

Now that is something I would love to hear!

[whataname01]

Wow! wonder if she could play the banjo duet on the movie "Deliverance"... ;)

[AosZas]

Some people watch this on the internet and really enjoy themselves while some were actually there when it took place but were too busy chatting. A true irony.

[wzb3]

Exactly, She was there to provide background music for the guests who were enjoying the view while waiting to go inside to dinner. Regardless of the noise of the people, one could still enjoy the skill of this musician.

[TheShawnxxx]

they are in public, obviously it will not be quiet

[xLilPunx96]

Those people in the background are just pigs

[deluhinumber1fan]

shes hot

[Jeremiemf]

magnifique !

[wzb3]

I totally agree. I really enjoyed her music on this fascinating instrument.

[lishuozhen]

they need to show some respects,rude tourists

[XxJingTongXx]

omg! i have the same guzheng! i forgot the model though... (i also accidentally chipped a little of the wood)

[Jaejin101]

is gu zheng hard to play

[ZhengManiac]

@Jaejin101 actually guzheng is the easiest instrument to learn in the chinese music world~ just because it has 21 strings doest mean its hard~ and only if you want to become skillful with it~ you much take a lot of effort to learn the techniques!!! 

[wzb3]

You are so right. That's how I felt too, and like Skashoon commented, I wish people in the background would have been quiet.

[Bluetrainn]

wow man seriously this music just really reminds of you things that are indescribable it's amazing how sounds can just remind of entire nature scenes or w/e

[Skashoon]

It's just a shame that the people in the background couldn't keep quiet while she played.

[wzb3]

Thank you for your comment, iwrk925. Being my first time in China, it was a wonderful musical moment to listen to this instrument played by a competent musician.

[iwrk925]

This music helps me meditate. Brings peace to mind as I practice Shaolin.

I appreciate the person who ever put this on U Tube.

[uytfvbnmkoiuy]

She is ok, I am as good as her. My guzheng looks exactly same as this one too. And I'd learned it for 10 monthes.

[wzb3]

If you have posted any videos of your playing the guzheng, I would enjoy viewing them. Perhaps other songs. Thanks for replying.

[wzb3]

Don't I wish! Too far to go home! She played the music before our delicious meal. She's cute, but she never smiled..once.

[mazeyaj]

AHhhh shes cute, i wander what did you guyz do after that delicious meal? took her home so she can give u GuQin Lesson? HAHAHAHA

[sanjak]

Wish I have one at home. Then I'll learn to play myself!

[JayNabb]

Most importantly is the delicious meal that you had after her performance.

[wzb3]

Oh, yes! And it was indeed delicious!  The view of the surrounding area was nice, too.

[SpewToob]

And she didn't even get rattled that you were all up in her junk!

Fantastic! 5/5

[wzb3]

No, she was really used to playing before many tourists and seemed oblivious to us.

[Asianl2emix]

... Kayagum..

[skinniesss]

i play this instrument ( guzheng ) .. but play no where NEAR as good ! :D

[wzb3]

Have you played long? I love the sound! Someone commented that they wonder what the toothbrush is used for. Is this standard equipment for the instrument, like to keep it clean?

[skinniesss]

ive been played for about 6 years .

yes, i saw that comment, and i wonder the same thing. i dont use any 'toothbrush', but i use a cloth for cleaning. they may have mistaken it for the tuning equipment? its LIKE a toothbrush (without bristles) that tunes the keys of all 21 strings.

[wzb3]

Thanks, that makes the best sense about the "toothbrush".

[ComradeMartin]

Talent and beauty! Awesome!

[wzb3]

Thanks for your comment. It was a wonderful trip to this awesome country last September. This young musician was just one of many memories.

[sune108]

What's with the toothbrush?  Is that for personal use or for the instrument?

[wzb3]

I have no idea other that she may use it to keep the strings and parts clean. Corrosion is an enemy of this instrument, for sure.

[southmtn2000]

This was wonderful to hear, thanks for sharing...

[wzb3]

Thanks, 21FingerGod for the title of the song. You have a great ear for music.

[hanxiangzi88]

there's no feeling at all when playing...mayb get distracted by those noisy tourist....

[21FingerGod]

a tad out of tune

but the song is called Mo Li Hua (jasmine flower)

[djmachale]

Yes, the song she is playing is very recognizable and beautiful.
