Jarrelle Barton first heard its sound at a public library when he was 13 years old. Soon after, he made his own guzheng using a wooden tea tray and some guitar strings, but eventually convinced his grandmother to buy him one.

But Barton isn't the person you'd expect to find playing it: He's a young black man.
