Eng Sub 'Geomungo | Sounds of Korea Ep.4 | Korean Traditional Music 101

‘Geomungo’ Geomungo is one of the oldest instruments of Korea. It originated in the kingdom of Goguryeo. There is a painting of the instrument in the Goguryeo chamber tomb which was drawn in the 4th century. The body of Geomungo is made of paulownia wood. The rounded front plate symbolizes the sky and the flat back plate of the instrument symbolizes the ground. Six strings are made of silk. Three strings are held by 16 wooden frets and rests are held by movable bridges called Anjok. Geomungo uses a bamboo stick to play and the left hand is placed on wooden frets. By pressing down, moving back and forth the player changes pitch and creates ornaments and vibrato. - ‘Sounds of Korea’ is a new series made by KTM101 to introduce Korean traditional instruments.
