Brief Introduction

Pipa is a traditional Chinese musical instrument that can create clear sounds like beads dropping on plates and play powerful songs. Though I haven't learned Pipa before, I really enjoyed the performances. The sound of Pipa contains our culture and history.

According to the research I've done, Pipa has different appearances over time. Before the Tang dynasty, the word 'Pipa' referred to all the plucked stringed instruments. Ancient Pipa is round while modern Pipa is pear-shaped. This project mainly uses the latter because I regard pear shape as special in all instruments.
