Dear Peter, 

I have gladly received your letter telling me that you’re interested in traditional Chinese musical instruments.Now, I’d like to tell you something about the Chinese Zither, one of the most ancient Chinese musical instruments with a long history of over 2500 years. 

The Chinese Zither is a plucked instrument and is played with both hands.In the early times it had 5 strings and has developed into 21 to 25 strings up to now. 

The Chinese Zither has a wide range and sonorous sound. As its playing appears and sounds like playing the piano, the Chinese Zither is sometimes called “the Chinese piano”. 

Enclosed with the letter is a CD of masterpieces of the Chinese Zither. I hope you’ll enjoy it. 

Best wishes! Yours, 

Li Hua
