[@keefmeister77]

I bought one recently, just strung it and tuned it, and he is now my guru, this is how I want it to sound.

+keefmeister77 What is it tuned like?

[@keefmeister77]

Julie Nielsen I have a small one, it can be tuned to DAD or ADA, I like ADA better, higher. So far I can play Beethoven and Morphine.

@@keefmeister77 where did you buy it? Do you still play it?

[@happyskating2000]

how did it go?

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

It certainly has a deeper pitch than the shamisen.

[@sabrina1380m]

I wish sanxian was more used in Chinese traditional music, although they introduced it to Japan it seems to disappear from the scene.

[@arielzhang679]

not at all，China had too many instrument. Sanxian just isn't as popular as other instruments like guqin guzheng pipa,erhu suona,dizi ands so on.
