It consists of a wooden board with attached staggered metal tines, played by holding the instrument in the hands and plucking the tines with the thumbs, the right forefinger, and sometimes the left forefinger. Can you compare the sound to a more mainstream instrument? Played here by the talented xuan xuan (Youtube) | Music Traveler | Facebook
