Introduction: Pipa
The pipa is a four-stringed Chinese instrument, belonging to the plucked category of instruments. This instrument has a pear-shaped wooden body with a varying number of frets ranging from 12-26. The pipa appeared in the Qin Dynasty and was further developed by the Han Dynasty. This instrument is one of the famous instruments that was played for nearly two thousand years in China. Some of the related instruments in East and Southeast Asia were deprived from the pipa. Japanese biwa, the Vietnamese and the Korean bipa are some examples of them.
