[Video] Rabbit Day 3... with Rabbits

[achickenformylove]

[WangJi was in greenhouse carriage as usual. It was usually his place for making any sort of posts on the train as he enjoyed it there. This time, there actually was a reason... because he had two rabbits and it was the month of rabbit.

You know... appropriate.

So Little Carrot was sitting inside his robes with his tiny head sticking out, nose wiggling as WangJi spoke]

Good day. I wanted to inform those on the train with a musical inclination that I have ordered a guqin so that others may try and play it.

[He adjusted the video to show the very long zither instrument sitting on the ground near him. It definitely wasn't his own. The colors were different and it didn't have any of the markings showing it belonged to a Gusu Lan disciple.

There was also Little Radish the white rabbit next to it, sniffing it and trying to figure out what it was]

If anyone would like to learn more about it, feel free to ask. This one, I will leave in the music carriage.

Yes, I have found that learning new skills seems to be a good way to pass the time. What instruments have you played previously?

[gathersnomoss]

Guitar. We have one in the music room, I think, if you don't know what one is.

[achickenformylove]

I have seen it. It is not something that we have in our world. However, we do have something that is played similarly called the pipa.

[gathersnomoss]

I don't think we have that one, but if it's close enough that you know what one is, that works.

[achickenformylove]

It seems they play similar music as well. Pipas are typically used for faster songs.

[gathersnomoss]

Right. A plucked or strummed string doesn't have that long of a sustained note, so you need to keep making them.

[achickenformylove]

That is true. Guqin are also string instruments, but they are not generally used to play prominently in fast paced songs. Pipa are generally played rapidly in a manner that guqin are not.
