Yang Chin, China [7 of 9]  Previous image / Next image The yang chin, or "foreign zither," was introduced into China from the West around 1800. In the same catagory as a dulcimer, it is played by striking the strings with hammers or beaters. Moveable bridges are used to divide its strings into different vibrating lengths.
