2022.5.1Description
A Miniature Koto. Approximately 1:5 scale, the full size instrument is ~5ft in length. Played using picks which attach to the right hand. Notes can be modified by pushing down on the string to the left of the movable bridges. Tuned by moving the position of the bridges. This toy instrument is functional although impractical, difficult to play, and difficult to tune. It is primarily a demonstration piece to show the mechanisms of the instrument without taking up an inordinate amount of space.Acquisition
