Korean Musicians

This photo was taken some time in 1904 in Chungcheongbuk-Do, KR. It shows four musicians that play Korean traditional instruments. From the left the names of the instruments are 'piri' (oboe), 'haegum' (two-stringed fiddle), 'komungo' (six-stringed zither), and a yanggeum (hammered dulcimer). All of these instruments can also be found in China and have a long-standing tradition. I've cleaned up and enhanced the photo, so if you want a closer look just go full size and expand image.
