RECALL KOTO: Favored by Elotheans of the House of the Silk Strings, the koto is a two-handed string instrument with a curved body. Most koto use thirteen strings, which are strung over the same number of moveable bridges along the width of the instrument and allow the musician to adjust the string pitches. More complex koto use seventeen strings, but can go up to thirty-six. Koto may be made of wood, metal or glass, with wood being the most common material used. While the strings of a koto are most commonly silk to give a light sound, some glass or metal koto use metal or glass strings, which complement the body material and make for a more tonal yet ethereal sound. Koto require a pick to be played. |
