Musical Instruments in the South Kensington Museum: Japanese Dulcimer, or Takigoto, 1870. 'The Japanese instrument, called the taki-goto, is of the dulcimer class; and its strings are touched with a plectrum, or several plectra, affixed to the tips of the fingers. Their pitch is regulated by the adjustment of thirteen movable wooden bridges; the material of the strings is silk. The instrument is 6 ft. long, made of bamboo, gilt and painted, and adorned with embroidery and tassels'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
