Koohii stories:
1) [Megaqwerty] 22-6-2007(38): I can't play this ancient harp! It's craftsmanship is so mediocre! The bamboo is hard and stiff! Give me a new koto any day of the week.
2) [mantixen] 27-7-2009(11): The ancient harp was fabricated without wood, a mediocre version crafted only of bamboo.
3) [blannk] 7-9-2009(1): Harpo was mediocre on the ancient bamboo harp, despite its superb craftmanship, but could make the postmodern graphite one sing!
4) [cameron_en] 25-11-2008(1): An ancient harp couldn't have been fabricated without wood.
5) [koohiikun] 28-10-2010(): The ancient harp was fabricated without wood which is why it didn't sound so great. Once again, bamboo crafts tend to be mediocre.
