Do you know about the 13-stringed sound string instrument "Ryukyu Karen"?
※From the official website of "Ryukyu Karen"
A "metal string" that plays a melody and a "metal string" that plays harmony with three sets x four types of cords (chords).
It is a new stringed instrument born in Okinawa, like a combination of guitar and Taisho Koto.
"Ryukyu Karen" was born from such a thought so that everyone can play musical instruments easily and happily.
It is easy to enjoy regardless of men and women of all ages, and it seems that it is also used in educational and welfare settings.
A special program commemorating the 20th anniversary of the musical instrument circle was also filmed in Okinawa World.
A performance against the background of old folk house with red tiles. It sounded a light and gentle sound.
As I do, I think there are so many people who just listen because music and musical instruments are difficult.
"Ryukyukan" seems to be easy to play with one hand, so it may be perfect for a step in experiencing a new world of playing.
Everyone in Okinawa, please watch the broadcast.
