Chinese instruments

This image was from a flier advertising a Chinese music concert, and came from a book about ancient Chinese music. I can scan the entire image for you. Badagnani (talk) 22:28, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Do you play or study ancient Chinese music? There are not many of us here. Badagnani (talk) 23:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

How interesting, and thanks for your kind comments about my articles. I've been to the Central Conservatory too (in 2005, for a symposium on links between African and Chinese music), and it seems that we share common interests--I'm also into new music, play Chinese instruments, and am into traditional Chinese music (as well as Chinese rock and jazz). Next time you go, try to check out the Ming Dynasty Buddhist music at the Zhihua Si temple. Would certainly like to know more about your music. Badagnani (talk) 00:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

European Medieval or Chinese Medieval? Tim Risher wrote a piece for Chinese ensemble a few years ago that is based on ars antiqua (Perotin) which was interesting--the intervals are very Chinese but the fast triple meter is unusual for Chinese music. But it works well. Badagnani (talk) 18:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
