External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Konghou. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

"extinct" ?

How can an inanimate, non-living thing go "extinct"?

By definition, something must be alive in order to go extinct and a musical instrument is not alive nor living.

Instead of saying the instrument went extinct, how about saying that "it fell out of use"?

If something is extinct, it cannot be revived; but it can be revived if it only "fell out of use."

Please seriously consider changing terminology/phrasing/etc.

Thank you. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 04:20, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Number of strings ? and shape

No where in the article does it mention how many strings any version of the original konghou had.

The illustrations in the article show between 6 and 18 strings. Is this due to the different types or artistic license?

Then there's the shape of the original konghou. It's looks kind of like the British symbol for their Pound currency "£". The modern version is more like a regular harp that is triangular in shape.

I don't see how something with three sides can be compared to the original that only had two sides.

To me, they are not the same instrument.

Plus, no where in the description of the original does it mention any strings looping over a side for it to be "double stringed." None of the illustrations indicate any looping --- another argument, to me, that indicates that the original and modern konghous are completely different instruments.

Thoughts / comments. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 04:34, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
