Quote:The gayageum or kayagum is a traditional Korean zither-like string instrument, with 12 strings, although more recently variants have been constructed with 21 or other numbers of strings. It is probably the best known traditional Korean musical instrument.[1] It is related to other Asian instruments, including the Chinese guzheng, the Japanese koto, the Mongolian yatga, and the Vietnamese đàn tranh.

According to the Samguksagi(삼국사기,三國史記) (1145), a history of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, the gayageum is supposed to have been developed around the 6th century in the Gaya confederacy by King Gasil (also known as Haji of Daegaya) after he observed an old Chinese instrument, a guzheng.He then ordered a musician named Wu Ruk to compose music that could be played on the instrument. gayageum is chinese name.Original name is gayago.

Yes, John, since Casey is always the "experimenter" particularly where stringed instruments are involved, of course, he would want to play around with something like this. May Casey's "inner child" live long (and prosper?)

If he does prosper he might accumulate an impressive assortment of instruments.

One week till Casey!!!!

^^I wonder where he was playing. It looks like it was a fairly good sized crowd.

I don't know why I haven't noticed this before. Casey doesn't seem to have a case for his stand up bass. I wonder why.

Hard shell case would be huge. He needs more like a gig bag , but that's still big and bulky.

Midnight, yes, a hard shell case is huge -- I've seen a few of them. True, a gig bag would be bulky, but it would still offer some protection.

I guess what I'm getting at is that between the cost of replacing a quality instrument that I suspect Casey has and the attachment that musicians tend to develop to/for their instruments, they'll do anything/everything to protect them from accidents and the elements. It surprises me to see this rather nonchalant treatment of his "axe."

Interesting, Tusk. Digital art appearing to be another form.

Kind of the reverse of the photorealism painting that Edward Hopper was known for, NightHawks being, perhaps, the best known example:
