Wikipedia describes these three instruments as:
1.) The G uzheng ( Chinese : 古箏 ), also known as the Chinese zither , is a Chinese plucked string instrument with an ancient history.
It has 16 (or more) strings and movable bridges . The modern guzheng usually has 21 strings, and is 64 inches (1,600 mm) long.
It has a large, resonant cavity made from wutong wood. Other components are often made from other woods for structural or decorative reasons.
Guzheng players often wear fingerpicks , made from materials such as tortoiseshell , resin or hard plastic, on one or both hands.
2.) The Y ueqin or yue qin ( Chinese : 月琴 , p yuèqín ), formerly romanized as yüeh-ch‘in
and also known as the moon guitar , moon zither , gekkin , laqin , or la-ch‘in , is a traditional Chinese string instrument .
It is a lute with a round, hollow wooden body which gives it the nickname moon guitar .
It has a short fretted neck and four strings tuned in courses of two (each pair of strings is tuned to a single pitch), generally tuned to the interval of a perfect fifth.
According to tradition, the instrument was invented in China during the 3rd- to 5th-century Jin Dynasty . [2] The ruan , another Chinese instrument, is the ancestor of the yueqin. [2]
The name yueqin once applied to all instruments with a moon-shaped soundboard, including the ruan ; however, "yueqin" now applies to a separate category from the ruan family.
3.) The sanxian ( Chinese : 三弦 , literally "three strings") is a Chinese lute — a three-stringed fretless plucked musical instrument .
It has a long fingerboard , and the body is traditionally made from snake skin stretched over a rounded rectangular resonator .
It is made in several sizes for different purposes and in the late 20th century a four-stringed version was also developed.
