1. pipa

   A pipa is a four-stringed Chinese musical instrument that has a pear-shaped wooden body with a varying number of frets ranging from 12 to 26. It is one of the most popular Chinese stringed instruments and has a history of over 2,000 years. The player holds the pipa upright and plays the strings with their fingers, often using picks for added volume and/or tonal variation. The sound of the pipa is often described as expressive and melancholic, capable of imitating sounds of nature like birds and flowing water.

1. Pipa

   The pipa is a four-stringed Chinese musical instrument, belonging to the plucked category of instruments. Sometimes called the Chinese lute, the instrument has a pear-shaped wooden body with a varying number of frets ranging from 12 to 26. Another Chinese four-string plucked lute is the liuqin, which looks like a smaller version of the pipa. The pipa is one of the most popular Chinese instruments and has been played for almost two thousand years in China. Several related instruments in East and Southeast Asia are derived from the pipa; these include the Japanese biwa, the Vietnamese đàn tỳ bà, and the Korean bipa. The Korean instrument is the only one of the three that is no longer used; examples survive in museums, but attempts to revive that instrument failed.
