KOTO is a kind of zither. It has been used as one of the main chamber instruments of Japanese traditional music style.
The length of KOTO is about 180cm. A traditional KOTO has 13 strings, being arched tautly across 13 movable bridges along the length of the instrument (right picture). Players make base pitches by moving these 13 bridges before playing.
