>>
Yangqin, the hammered dulcimer, is found in many countries
worldwide: in Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East.
Its appearance in China occurred sometime during the Ming
dynasty (1368-1644) where it became known as the Yangqin and
quickly became absorbed into Chinese traditional music,
appreciated for its ability to blend easily with other
instruments, to support vocalists and as a solo instrument
capable of great range of nuance and expression.
