  • kinda creepy.........

  • i want to play an asain instrument, but i dont know which one is good to start with for beginners

  • stupid announcements >:(

  • I bet there's two mirrors involved somehow... :P

  • Comment removed

  • The fiddles all had 3 tuning pegs and looked like bowed sanxian. I'd like to know more about those instruments.

  • @Hikikomori013 didn't see the beginning of this conversation, but it sounds like you're talking about the kikyu, i believe it's called. As far as i know, it pretty much is bowed sanxian or shamisen. I've never heard one played, I think it might be only used in specific genres or regions, like Okinawa.

  • @almishti I think this might be a zhuihu.

    The Japanese have the Kokyu, which is a small bowed shamisen. It used to have 3 strings but now it has 4. They also have the Kokin, which looks like a short erhu, but that one is very rare. I don't know if anyone still plays it.

  • @Hikikomori013 thanks for the info!

  • @Hikikomori013 Gee, i don't knwo what those are, but in Japan they have something called the kikyu, the only Japanese bowed instrument, and it pretty much IS a bowed shamisen/ sanxian. maybe these are where the Japanese kikyu comes from. There's all kinds of odd little very regional instruments all over China that are like only played by one group of people and stuff.

  • trillisas esto es de los dioses 0.0??

  • Wonderful, but I'm also sad, that the backround noise is so loud. I guess it is pretty annoying for them, while playing nice melodies. Anyway, thank You for the video, and good luck to all of them!

  • The Chinese are better than the Japanese at every thing. They invented gunpowder, and the Japanese only invented Toyoa's and Hondas. Seriously, what other goods does Japan create?

  • ANIME

  • I don't think gunpowder is a very good thing to be inventing...

  • @doctaword It depends where you use it. Using it for mining is not bad.

  • playstation...

  • @MetalBassjunkie420 There's only one thing that Japanese are better at then Chinese and that's cars. That's about it.

  • are they triplets?

  • XIE XIE! :D

  • Can you please tell me what XIE does mean in english?

    Thank you!

  • there is no translation for xie... xie xie is the chinese word for thank you. its pronounced sheh sheh ^__^

  • I'm just saying, but there is a translation for xie by itself.

    You could say,

    Wo Gan Xie Ni

    which is another way of saying thank you

    believe me, I know

  • ok i believe u but i just got back from china and the most commonly used thing i heard was xie xie. i was in beijing so they were speaking mandarin there. and i never heard the work xie used alone. so even is it is in the phrase "wo gan xie ni" alone i dont believe it means ne thing. unless u are using slang then "xie" is the translation to just saying "thanks" instead of thank you.

  • there IS a translation for "xie." Its definition is "to thank" literally. the compounding of "xiexie" is used in modern Mandarin to denote importance and respect. one can simply (and perhaps rudely) say: xie-le (le is a particle for finality). One can also say "duoxie," which means: many thanks. This form is used exclusively in Cantonese (we say: doze) "ze" being the Cantonese equivalent of Mandarin "xie."

  • it means thank you

  • Why are both beggars wearing blue? it that some sort of uniform for street musicians? Why would a poor man buy a shiny uniform... Is it a law for anyone playing an instrument on the street?

  • Hmm, I wish the triplets have seperate and unique lives outisde of playing gu zheng together, cos that seems very campy. I wish the "beggars" in Canada would display a "talent" or do a service instead of just sit and ask for change, or "pan-handle" as it is called here.

  • Very nice...but, would you tell that guy on the loud speaker to "SHUT UP"!!!

  • I agree, The Tannoy and back ground noise spoilt what cold been interesting video

  • XIAO XIN.
