Information About

Zhu (instrument)




Little is known about the instrument but it is believed to have been a Zither that was rectangular in shape, with silk or gut strings that were played with a slender stick. Although ancient sources state that the instrument was struck (implying that the stick was bounced on the string in the manner of a Hammered Dulcimer in order to elicit sound), it is possible that it was actually plucked with the stick in the manner of the Korean Komungo .
