Wu Zhao's guqin album recorded with silk strings



I just bought this album from Apple iTunes Singapore store. This is the first album that I have ever purchased from iTunes.

Wu Zhao's guqin album was recorded with silk strings (instead of nylon-metal strings). Simply sublime.

There are no  jarring metallic twang noises in guqin silk strings. That's probably how the ancients experienced the guqin too; with silk strings, instead of with post-industrialization-era metal-nylon strings.

Beside Apple iTunes, you can also listen to samples from this album at Amazon.
