I don't know her name, but she is my father-in-law's friend's daughter, playing the guzheng at my wedding banquet this past March in Tainan, Taiwan.

Thanks for giving us the chance to share that performance. I'm a big fan of traditional Chinese instruments, but sadly do not know how to play any. Lucky you to have such a performance at your wedding.

I also like Guzheng very much. it's a very expressive music instrument, I wonder why still less western composer write a piece for guzheng.

I like guzheng a lot too. I also like the guqin. The girl in this video (I asked my wife to get her name for me, so I will update when I get it) played another song which was even better after this one, but unfortunately it wasn't recorded. Her performance was my favorite part of the whole banquet.

I personally don't like guzheng too much as its sound is too loud, while absolutely excellent for stage playing.
