- The liuqin is a four-stringed Chinese mandolin with a pear-shaped body. It is small in size, almost a miniature copy of another Chinese plucked instrument, the pipa. But the range of its voice is much higher than the pipa, and has its own special place in the Chinese music, whether in orchestral music or in solo pieces. This has been the result of a modernization in its usage in recent years, leading to a gradual elevation in status of the liuqin from an accompaniment instrument in folk Chinese opera, narrative music, i.e. Suzhou pingtan, in northern Jiangsu, southern Shandong and Anhui, to an instrument well-appreciated for its unique tonal and acoustic qualities. The position of the instrument is lower than the pipa, being held diagonally like the Chinese ruan and yueqin. Like the ruan and unlike the pipa its strings elevated by a bridge and the soundboard has two prominent soundholes. Finally, the instrument is played with a pick with similar technique to both ruan and yueqin, whereas pipa is played with fingers. Therefore, liuqin is most commonly played and doubled by those with ruan and yueqin experience. Although, like the larger Chinese pipa, it may look like a lute, in fact, neither pipa nor liuqin have an actual neck, as the soundboard body spans the entire strings to the head of the instrument, making both liuqin and pipa actually handheld zithers. Historically the liuqin was commonly made of willow wood, while the professionals used versions constructed with a higher-quality red sandalwood or rosewood. In contemporary versions though, the front board is made of tong wood (桐木) and for the reverse side, of red sandalwood, as comparable to historical types.
- Le liuqin est un luth chinois à manche court très similaire au pipa, mais en version soprano, car il est beaucoup plus petit.
- 柳琴是中国的拨弦乐器。又名柳叶琴、柳月琴、土琵琶、金刚腿。流行于山东、江苏、安徽三省交界处，是苏北、鲁南一带柳琴戏、安徽泗州戏和绍兴乱弹的主要伴奏乐器。 柳琴外形像琵琶，但略小。传统形制为双弦7品，音域1个半八度，右手中指戴一竹筒或牛角筒义甲拨弦。改革后的柳琴有3弦、4弦两种，音品增至24个和29个，按十二平均律半音排列，改用拨子弹奏。 柳琴也用于器乐合奏，如常州丝弦。改革后的柳琴也有许多独奏的曲目，著名的独奏曲目有《春到沂河》、《陕北随想曲》，电影，电视剧《铁道游击队》中的著名插曲《弹起我心爱的土琵琶》，旋律优美，广为传唱。著名的柳琴演奏家有苏春敏、王惠然。
