The instrument is held in a near-vertical position when playing and its playing technique involves frequent bending of the tones with the fingers of the left hand. It was associated with the royal court and is still used in the ensemble that performs at the Imperial Palace at Huế. The instrument's name is a Vietnamization of the name of the Chinese pear-shaped lute, called ''pipa'', from which the ''đàn tỳ bà'' is derived. "Đàn" is the Vietnamese prefix meaning "stringed instruments", which is part of the name of most traditional stringed instruments of the Viet majority. The Tỳ bà hành (Hán tự: 琵琶行) is a well known piece for ca tru ensemble.〔Songs for the Spirits: Music and Mediums in Modern Vietnam p150 Barley Norton - 2009 "These include the ca tru pieces “Ty Ba Hanh” and “Bac Phan,” which became part of the “Phu” group of songs and were ..
