Ancient instrument guqin struggles to find new enthusiasts
The guqin, a 7-string zither played by ancient philosopher Confucius, is struggling to find its place among contemporary music makers in China.
It is estimated that currently only 2,000 people play it - fewer than the number of years it has been around.
But a few enthusiasts are trying to keep the 3,000 year old tradition alive.
