I have to share a wonderfull experience today..

Played a Vietnamese One string instrument
Just a single string with a kind of pitchbend at the end
Surprisingly where you picked a string with a small stick mattered as you got different tones on different parts of the string.
Somehow worked very different from playing guitarstrings with a plectrum
Because before playing the next note you first needed to kill the previous note by touching the snare with a dinger

Pitchstick could not only be used for changing pitch but also for adding modulation/vibrato

Its allways nice traveling and discovering things.

I still have to see the first keyboard here, even after a week, no piano eithers
