Playing the pipa, a long, pear-shaped wooden instrument, requires extreme hand coordination. "Pi" is to push the fingers of the right hand from right to left, and "pa" is to pull the thumb of the right hand from left to right. It is said that one cannot play the pipa without an open heart and open mind. Distributed by TubeMogul.
