The Gayageum, a traditional Korean zither-like string instrument, with 12 strings, is one of the most well- known traditional Korean musical instruments. Gayageum Sanjo is Korean instrumental folk music played solo with gayageum (twelve-stringed zither). All Sanjo start with slow rhythm and gradually changes to faster rhythm, making listeners feel tense and increasingly delighted. Gayamgeum Sanjo is made up of four to six rhythms: jinyangjo (slow), jungmori (moderate), jungjungmori (moderately fast), jajinmori (fast), and hwimori (fastest).
