I'm probably the only European-American in Arizona who plays Sanxian

Pretty sure I'm the only person in the world who plays Bass, Sanxian and Guqin (and sorta Native American Flute)

Pretty sure I'm the only one who plays the Sanxian upside down

Related to my last post post, I was listening to modern Shamisen , which I dearly love but I won't mention who because I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging that I am better than him. I was listening and I thought “he’s incredibly fast” and then I realized “his bachi is incredibly fast, but my left hand Sanxian is just as fast”. They are just different techniques. With a Shamisen, you hit every note with the bachi, on my Sanxian I’m playing with finger picks...

I'm realizing one weak spot in my Sanxian technique is my tremolo. I've always been very conservative of my right-hand energy, and my melodic style does not involve repeating quick notes so I entail quick pulls offs and hammer ons but bit my much vibrato and very little tremolo. My melodic style is more...I don't know how to say it, but I'm moving around much more than that. but watching sanxian masters, those techniques are much more how they play....#Sanxian #Tremolo #vibrato #三弦 #musician

Just home from a Purple Bamboo performance. Didn't mention it because I wasn't sure if I'd be there. The Center for East Asian Studies of UofA had a presentation today and we played a handful of songs. Lot of fun; probably the most relaxed I've played yet

Fun figuring it out, not what I expected
