Chrissie will now give you a brief history lesson on the Pipa! -
"The Chinese pipa, a four-string plucked lute, descends from West and Central Asian prototypes and appeared in China during the Northern Wei dynasty (386–534). Traveling over ancient trade routes, it brought not only a new sound but also new repertoires and musical theory. Originally it was held horizontally like a guitar and its twisted silk strings were plucked with a large triangular plectrum held in the right hand. The word pipa describes the plectrum's plucking strokes: pi, "to play forward," pa, "to play backward."
History lesson over!
You can choose your style of wearing the Pipa Guitar pendant from our many options. It comes with our thin 46cm leather cord with a 5cm extender but there are many style options.
You can wear this with a stainless steel ball chain, a silver coloured snake chain or one of our 18" stainless steel cable cord chokers if you prefer your pendant to sit in the neckline.
If you prefer something a little more chunky, you may prefer our 4mm faux leather braided cord which can be worn simple or with our "Funky Tubes" style where we add silver coloured tubes for the ultimate funky look.
