The sanxian (Chinese:三弦, literally "three strings") is a Chineselute— a three-stringed fretless plucked musical instrument. It has a long fingerboard, and the body is traditionally made from snake skin stretched over a rounded rectangular resonator. It is made in several sizes for different purposes and in the late 20th century a four-stringed version was also developed. The northern sanxian is generally larger, at about 122cm in length, while southern versions of the instrument are usually about 95cm in length.
Description
The sanxian has a dry, somewhat percussive tone and loud volume similar to the banjo. The larger sizes have a range of three octaves. It is primarily used as an accompanying instrument, as well as in ensembles and orchestras of traditional Chinese instruments, though solo pieces and concertos also exist. The sanxian is used in nanguan and Jiangnan sizhu ensembles, as well as many other folk and classical ensembles.
Traditionally the instrument is plucked with a thin, hard plectrum made from animal horn but today most players use a plastic plectrum (similar to a guitar pick) or, alternatively, their fingernails. This use of fingers to pluck the instrument often shares technique with that of the pipa and is most commonly used in performance of sanxian arrangements of works traditionally written for the pipa. This allows for pipa techniques such as tremolo to be used. Other techniques for sanxian include the use of harmonics and hitting the skin of the instrument with the plectra or fingernail (comparable to the technique used to play the northern Japanese tsugaru-jamisen).
Chinese #Music Tutorial: 'Plum Blossom' on 'Sanxian' | 云上民乐课:三弦演奏《梅花韵》| CNODDT
It is rhythmic and buoyant; it is melodious and lingering. The “#sanxian” (three-stringed Chinese lute) repertoire "Plum Blossom" is inspired by the elements of the Plum Blossom Tune - a typical type of drum music in northern China, and represents the traditional art of story-telling in the form of folk music.
In this episode of Chinese Music Tutorial, CNODDT musician #WangPeipei creates a brisk imagery of the capital in ancient times with the traditional Chinese plucked instrument.

Musician combines 'sanxian' with electronic music
Wang Yu has released a new music piece which combines "sanxian", a traditional three-stringed Chinese musical instrument, with #electronicmusic.
Titled "Sanxian — The Sound of China", the piece was composed by Wang, 34, who learned to play the instrument as a child.
He was born into a family of #musicians in Beijing. Wang was introduced to sanxian and learned to play the instrument with his grandfather, a veteran sanxian player.
The new music piece displays the versatility of the instrument. Wang adapted diverse music elements such as traditional Chinese folk songs of ethnic groups, Peking Opera, and pingtan (an ancient Chinese art form of singing and storytelling originating from Suzhou, Jiangsu province).
He worked with electronic musician Wei Huhu, giving the old musical instrument ...
