My live music experience

I've had a couple of musical experiences this semester, but none of them compared to a performance that I saw in November. At the Korean Undergraduate Student Association assembly I was pleasantly introduced to the Chulhyun gum, which is similar to a steel guitar. The woman that was playing was dressed much like the woman in the picture. Watching her play was more interesting than listening to the instrument (because to be honest, it sounded more like a Kleenex box guitar). It seemed as if it took a lot of precision and a delicate touch to be able to produce a reasonable sound from the very large instrument. I think I really enjoyed watching her play because she seemed to be so invested in her music. I'm assuming that when someone plays that instrument, that it' pretty much a solo performance, with very little accompaniment. Overall, although I wasn't blown away by the sound of the music, I was in awe of the musician's ability to command the audience with her incredible talent and ability to control such a large instrument.
