4 erhus, 1 guzheng, 2 dizis, 2 yangqins, 3 pipas |
Yea, they consist of 12 members. All the members were selected out from an audition numbering more than 4000 contestants. They are all classically-trained which is the key to their great impact on their performance. Salute to ya!
In the picture's caption, you can see the names of the instruments they have in the picture. Erhu is the Chinese two-stringed fiddle. I think I would like this instrument a lot as I major in violin. The sound created by erhu is so nice, really electrified me. Then we have the Pipa, a plucked string instrument with a fretted neck in a shape of a pear. You can simply said it a guitar, but its in the category of lute.
Next we have Dizi. Dizi is Chinese transversed flute. It is played horizontally like a normal flute, yes. Then comes the Yangqin, which is actually a hammered dulcimer. The sound is kinda piercing, I think. I don't know how to say it la... you judge it yourself by listening to it. (Don't die wo) Lastly we have this guzheng, a plucked zither with 13 to 21 strings and movable bridge.
When they play together, they create a perfect harmony. I like their music style, and they also did covers on Coldplay's song 'Clocks'. I really admire their music, and up until now, I'm fascinated with their music and style. Gonna love it! (Miyahahahah 8D)
What more can I say about them eh? I think you should just listen to them by yourself and judge it yourself. I bet you will like it. See the video I posted along. Enjoy and feel them. For perverts, you may try to select which one you want (LOL).
P/S : Malaysia bila mau buat gini ha? Kita buat '10 Budak Hitam' hehehehe
