A Pipa is a Chinese short-necked guitar distinguished by its graceful, pear-shaped body. The Pipa has a shallow, rounded back and four silk strings attached to four slender lateral pegs. The instrument is played with a large wedge-shaped plectrum called a bachi.
The Pipa is the chosen instrument of Benten, goddess of music, eloquence, poetry, and education in Buddhism.
