  • How do you reach these people? I want to book them.

  • @straightarrow372 the traditional version is a smaller hand held version. the one you see in the video is a modern (i think 20th century) interpretation. but these days it's considered a traditional Chinese instrument and used in Chinese orchestras.

  • @txy345 Is this a traditional Chinese instrument? It looks very modern, somehow, though we don't have them here in the USA, at least not that I've seen.

  • @straightarrow372 it should be the sheng 笙. more specifically, the higher pitch one, gaoyin sheng 高音笙.

  • @RedLace2 My son says it's called a mouth organ. Not sure if he's making that up, or whether it's the real name.

  • Does anyone know where I can get the score for this piece?

  • @straightarrow372: Haha that I really don't know.

  • @txy345 These people are fantastic! Are they going to tour in the USA? I would love to know when they are coming. There's a great concert hall near me at the State University of New York, Purchase campus, if they're interested -- and of course lots of concert halls in New York City, which is also not far away. Not only is the music fabulous, but the man playing the zhonghu/erhu is very cute (though too young for me).

  • @straightarrow372:

    Oops I just noticed this comment today. It's recorded on 16 May 2005 at the concert hall of the Central Conservatory of Music (中央音乐学院) in Beijing.

  • Way cool! Love it! Where and when recorded? Such an interesting mix of eastern and western instruments!
