    All About Yangqin | "Jiang Jun Ling" (Yangqin Solo)

    The spotlight is on Anson today as he discussed the many aspects of the Yangqin.

In a nutshell, we discussed in this podcast: i. The different challenges Yangqin players face and what non-Yangqin players think of the instrument ii. The different models of Yangqin (402, 402G, Die Meng, Pedaled Yangqin, Portable 401 Yangqin) The session then ended with a Yangqin solo performance of "General's Command" performed by Anson.
