EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing trio of traditional Chinese musical instruments: the Chinese lute p i-p a, moon guitar yue-chin, and table zither tchin.

The vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes bring these ancient instruments to life, evoking a sense of harmony and cultural richness. Dr. Alexander Buchner's book "Musical Instruments Through the Ages" provides valuable insights into the history and significance of these remarkable creations.

It transports us back to an era where music played an integral role in society, connecting people across time and space through its enchanting melodies.
