What is Pipa: Traditional Chinese Lute about?

The pipa is a four-stringed Chinese lute with a pear-shaped body that is one of the oldest instruments in China, dating back to the 2nd century BC. Traditionally played as a solo instrument or to accompany storytelling and opera, the pipa is now more commonly used in contemporary ensembles and compositions combined with both Chinese and Western instruments. Its name refers to two playing techniques using the right hand to play notes forward or backward.
