Here's a fascinating Video Clip, posted by "est", over at ED.

It shows Lin Chong Ye Ben playing a wonderful piece of music on Yangqin.
Watch closely though, because one of the pairs of Hammers that she uses during her performance actually has double heads!

Lin Chong Ye Ben

When I was in China, I saw some of these double-headed hammers : some were made to ply thirds, others to play fourths. But it seems to work only if you have the same intervals all along the instrument, which we poor HD and hackbrett players haven't...
