Korean Instruments

Kayagum Kayagum (Fillip instrument) is one of the most


representative national instruments of Korea.

It was invented by Uruk 1,400 years ago (6th century,


AD). He was born in the Kaya Era and distinguished
himself as a talented musician and a famous composer.

Above all, he was an expert Kayagum player and


devoted all his life to the development of music in
Korea through musical composition and the training of
Kayagum players, and made efforts to further develop
it as a music instrument.

Yanggum Yanggum is a percussion string instrument which is


sounded by Chae (bamboo-made, thin plectra).

The name Yanggum means the Western harp. This kind


of instruments are wide spread in the world as
traditional national instruments, and were introduced
into the professional music of circles of Korea in the
18th century.

Yanggum was also introduced into Japan at the end of


Edo period, but it didn't see any further progress.

Tanso Tanso is made up of 2 words. Tan means short and so is


a generic term for wind instruments.

Tanso is a most popular Korean wind instrument


together with other so, Tongso (Korean Flute).

Formerly, it was made of bamboo, but now it is made


of synthetic resin as a result of several innovations.

The sound is clear and beautiful with its emotional,


penetrating timbre. The sound is wide and soft in the
law range; bright and beautiful in the mid-range;
penetrating in the high range.

Tanso came to be played after the middle of the 15th


century, and it was especially favored by woodcutters
for this clear sound.
Hae Gum Haegum is a percussive bow string instrument which is
very popular in Korea today.

Hae Gum resembled Chinese Ho Gung in its structure


and rendition, but we can find its originality in our
traditional Korean climate.

First of all, Hae Gum can be compared to the medieval


musical instrument called Fugin, which had been in
Korea since before the Christian era, and became an
indispensable musical instrument in both court and
popular music circles, according to records.

In those days, Song Hyon and other musician wrote Ak


Hak Kye Nom (9 vols.) to systematize and typify
traditional Korean music, in which they explained the
manufacturing process, rendition, and tuning Hae Gum
with some illustrations.

Senap Piri and Senap are well-known double reed-wood wind


instruments among traditional Korean musical
instruments.

Senap distinguished itself from the other instruments in


its volume. Senap is also called Tae Pyong So or Nal
Ra Ri.

Nal Ra Ri, another name of Senap, is named after its


sound, and the name is more popular among the public.

Senap came to be popular among the people around the


13th century, according to records.
