About the Koto
The koto is a traditional Japanese string instrument, a long wooden body laid flat on the floor while the player kneels beside it. It usually has 13 strings stretched over movable bridges, and the player plucks them with picks worn on the fingers. Sliding the bridges changes the tuning, and pressing a string bends its note. Print this for a lesson about instruments from around the world and trace along the long row of strings.
