I'll be talking about the liuqin (柳琴) this time around, which is a tear-shaped lute from China. It was actually invented very recently in the 1950s. It is a smaller version of the pipa and has four strings which give it a similar sound to a mandolin. The player plucks the strings with a piece of spectrum. The liuqin often takes the role as lead instrument in ensembles (it's high-pitched sound easily stands out). It is a popular choice for Chinese folk music and opera. In recent decades, Composer Wang Huiran made significant contributions to its development and and wrote several pieces that feature the liuqin as a solo instrument.
Construction includes a variety of materials including bone, wood, and decorative plastics. Originally, the liuqin was made from willow. Professional-quality instruments are made from sandalwood and rosewood. The frets (the small bars seen beneath the strings) are made out of bamboo to give the strings a great sound and timbre.
