This is a second version I made based on my previous Korean Maiden with Gayageum. The gayageum or kayagum (in Korean 가야금), developed around the sixth century, is a traditional Korean plucked zither with 12 strings, though some more recent variants have 18, 21 or 25 strings. It is probably the best known traditional Korean musical instrument. It is similar with other Asian instruments like Chinese guzheng, Japanese koto, Mongolian yatga, Vietnamese đàn tranh, Sundanese kacapi and Kazakh jetigen.
