Sandra, I purchased a kayagum direct from Korea, from the Hallulim company, about 20 years ago. Since then, there is a dealer in Hacienda Heights, CA that imports kayagums, and geomungo, as well as other Asian zithers. I too, have expanded out with the harp. I play, guzheng (Chinese zither), kayagum, geomungo, danh bau (Vietnamese one sting zither), and well as, pedal harp, folk harp, and lapsteel guitar. I'm one of the few that build and play the very rare Stoessel lute (Stossel-laut).
@@takemyjobpleeez wow! Your amazing! I have been playing the harp for 26 years. I studied the Guzheng with my wing chun instructor's wife. I love the Dan Tranh as well. What I like most about the kayagum is I don't have to use tape or picks to play it. I am from Louisiana, I use to live in Los Angeles but I moved back home. I would love to learn kayagum but where to start back here in the south? I know I can get a kayagum from the sound of asia music store but to find a teacher might be a challenge unless I can find one online. And mose of the books for kayagum I have one. is in Korean I like Korean I am studying it now.
@@sandragayle7866 network to find players. I live near Charlotte NC. Study lots of literature. An essential book to get, is Korean Kayagum Sanjo: A Traditional Instrumental Genre (SOAS Studies in Music). It explains history, playing method/theory, and it has an entire Sanjo in western music notation, the first ever.

Plus it has a CD of the Sanjo piece in the book.
