The channel popped up randomly on my youtube feed, so I watched a few of the videos. Here is one...definately not bluegrass or old time, but a nice rendition of a popular tune  See You Again  Appreciate the musicianship.  Pretty tune.  Very talented young lady.  



When I looked up the name of the instrument "Guzheng" I saw some sites called it a zither.  A bit of a stretch to call it a zither, based on what I understand a (UK) zither is/was. But it has strings, and is played with picks. Interesting...picks are taped on the fingers.

Nice, Interesting juxtaposition of the traditional instrument with modern technology and musical selection.

"Zither", like "lute" can be used narrowly for a instruments of a specific type, or more generically for instruments of a broader category.
