The gayageum or kayagum is a traditional Korean zither-like string instrument with 12 strings, though some more recent variants have 21 or other numbers of strings. It is probably the best known traditional Korean musical instrument.[1] It is related to other Asian instruments, including the Chinese guzheng, Japanese koto, Mongolian yatga, and Vietnamese đàn tranh. When played, the sound varies between traditional Eurasian stringed instruments and the Appalachian banjo.


"Gayageum are available with 13, 17, 18, 21, 22, or 25 strings..."

She appears to have 21 or more strings on that one. I checked another one of her newer uploads, and she was playing a 25 string gayageum
