Koto Test - Sakura Sakura /さくら さくら

I found this mini japanese koto on classified ads from someone who himself got it from an old family member. The instrument seems old, and comes with a booklet in japanese only. I guess it has been brought directly from Japan. Came totally out of tune, but I looked up on the internet for the tuning. Tuning is E Hirajoshi (E F# G B C), and the song is a well known japanese folk song, called Sakura Sakura /さくら さくら

I learned how to play koto when I was a transfer student in Japan some years ago, and tried to find a way to get it to sweden, but alas it would be way too expensive. Glad I found this on Ebay, sounded better than I expected.

The legendary album by Queen features a real Koto on The Prophet's Song, played by Brian May at the very beginning and during the end, before it goes into the next song. ua-cam.com/video/Yxlo5VfHPuU/v-deo.html

How to tune??????

[@blastehrcomposes]

From what I know, you move the bridges along the strings until they sound the pitch you want them to
