Koto Master APK - The national instrument of Japan is the koto, a half-tube zither played with a bow. Its origins are in Chinese zheng and se, and it has characteristics with the Mongolian yatga, the Korean gayageum and ajaeng, the Vietnamese àn tranh, the Sundanese kacapi, and the Kazakhstan jetigen. Koto are fashioned of Paulownia wood, also known as kiri, and measure about 180 centimeters (71 in) in length. The most popular form has 13 strings that are strung over movable bridges that are used for tuning; various pieces may require different tuning. The popular 17-string koto serves as the bass in groups. Three fingerpicks (tsume), which are often worn on the first three fingers of the right hand, are typically used to pluck koto strings.
