Notes | Each koto should have its bridges placed together as closely as possible somewhere near the center of the koto so that when the strings on at least one side of the bridges are strummed they each produce notes very close in pitch. The actual pitch produced by all the strings is left up to each individual player. [Justin Yang] |
