A Japanese musical instrument with three strings

Qin Sang, or Sanwei Line, is a traditional Japanese stringed instrument. Since China was introduced to Japan in the 6th century, many unique Japanese playing techniques have been added, such as playing the piano with a plectrum. Because it was accompanied by kabuki music as a prop in the Edo period, it quickly became one of the representative musical instruments in Japan. Among them, Tianjin Light Sanwei Line is a branch independently developed in the cold and snowy Aomori Tianjin light area, which is characterized by improvisation, playing close to percussion instruments and fast beat. Because it can improvise, it is also called "Japanese jazz". There are three kinds of three-taste-line split-bore rods: thick rod, middle rod and thin rod. The thick stick will make strong and loud music, and the thin stick will make very delicate music. However, the Tianjin Light Sanwei Line is bigger and thicker than the ordinary thick lyre. KawakamiBansai, a character in The Silver Soul, is good at playing the lyre. Three-string music Three-string instrument has three strings, and the drum surface of its sound box is covered with cat skin or dog skin, which is a representative instrument in Japan. Qin Sang was widely used in the Edo period, and it is still used to play drama music such as kabuki and puppet net glass, and to accompany various songs and music.
