During last summer, I wanted to invest my time in something I’ve found interesting since I was a child, which is pshina* playing! So I started by searching for a pshina in order to learn, and I was lucky to find an adiga pshina in a very good condition! I tried to play certain tunes but it was difficult but rather amusingly challenging .
Yesterday I attended my first class for learning how to play the pshina, and as I inspected it was charming and practical. Our instructor is very talented and I like the fact that he plays the pshina with passion and amusement yet it in a very humble attitude, and I wish I would reach such stage, where I can amuse the audience and enjoy the music myself with a sense of pride!
On the other hand, I discovered that I want to learn the Apapshina (mandolin-like instrument) too! It’s like a sweet mellow version of the pshina, its sound is feminine, delicate and shy but at a certain moment its sound becomes masculine with epic feelings. I don’t know if I’m able to describe the music to the level I enjoy it but I’m sure I’m willing to learn the pshina and the apapshina!
