A YouTube link would really be a welcome addition to a post like this! Any takers?

Then you’ll understand why I like the haegum (Chinese counterpart is named the erhu).

I’m an ear-hair fetishist. I’ve got four pairs of tweezers between my office and home office. Distressingly, I find I must use them more and more.

Now here is something that even I, on even a really, really bad hair day (yeah, Brendon, the ones in and on my ears), can recommend unreservedly, if even if just to hear Kang Eun-il work her magic on the haegum again. The best part of the ill-fated - journalistically-speaking - Follow Music, Follow Elegance: Korean Traditional Performance for Foreigners” trip to Chongju organized by Seoul Selection last year was the discovery of Kang, but the other performaces then were equally inspired, as I have no doubt those on the current program will be.
