Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower), Live in Shanghai Dec 2011

On my visit to China in December 2011, I was honoured to perform with three star musicians from the famous Shanghai Music Conservatory. The elegant young women played Erhu, Pipa and Guzheng. We played the famous Chinese melody 'Jasmine Flower' (Mo Li Hua); considering we only met just before the performance I think it came out quite well :-)

I'm using a custom-tuned Suzuki SCX chromatic designed to get the big bends characteristic of Chinese folk music.
