# Beijing Opera Instrument Classification
This dataset is a collection of audio examples of individual strokes spanning the four percussion instrument classes used in Beijing Opera (Jingju, 京劇).
There are four Beijing Opera instrument classes:

- Bangu (Clapper-drum) consisting of Ban (the clapper, a wooden board-­shaped instrument) + danpigu (a wooden drum struck by two wooden sticks)
- Naobo (Cymbals) consisting of two cymbal instruments Qibo+Danao
- Daluo: Large gong
- Xiaoluo: Small gong

The dataset is adapted from [dataset link](https://compmusic.upf.edu/bo-perc-dataset).
