Haegeum (해금 )
Not on view
The musician holds the haegeum, a two-stringed fiddle, vertically on the knee while playing it with the bow. It appears in records from the Goryeo dynasty (918–1392) and is one of the most widely utilized instruments in court music and popular ensembles. The bridge can be moved to alter the tonal quality, and the cloth hides the player’s finger movements.
