@Leatootskirootsboot exactly, I am not oppose to anybody, just dont like the silly title of "Japanese Instrument". It's an instrument, no nationality. That's it

[Leatootskirootsboot]

@minnesodawalesjamesb so there you go, you just helped me prove my point. i'm glad we agree on this XD

[minnesodawalesjamesb]

@Leatootskirootsboot Fine, but I mean, you just can't  say Saxophone is an American instrument or German instrument or belongs to any countries right? I don't think instrument really have a "nationality", the music styles have, players have, but instruments have not, eventhough it associated with certain cultures. Everybody can use any of them, they are for every body, especially the instrument originally from an extencted culture.

@Leatootskirootsboot fine

@minnesodawalesjamesb just because it didn't come from japan doesn't mean it's not japanese....since it's become part of their traditional culture, this instrument is still japanese regardless of where they came from.

[minnesodawalesjamesb]

Impressive, but the musical instrument is not really JAPANESE instrument. It's 篳篥，Chinese：bi li ；Korean：Piri；Japanese：hichi riki . Ancient Chinese borrowed this from Nomadic people in Middle Asia, then passed it to Japan through Korea.
