Talk:List of Chinese musical instruments

message: *I strongly disagree. Traditional Chinese musical instruments is about the the instruments themselves whereas Chinese orchestra is about their use in the modern Chinese orchestra, which is a 20th development modelled on the western symphony orchestra with seperate first, second string sections, wind sections etc. LDHan 10:32, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Chinese orchestra needs expanding to include the history, development and composition of different types of Chinese orchestras, not just the modern large orchestra. LDHan 11:13, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Well, some ancient/obsolete instruments were used in ancient Chinese orchestras but as far as I know I don't think the guqin was used in large ancient orchestras either.  Badagnani 00:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I've noticed 三弦 sānxián has been replaced by 三線 sānxiàn (note different tone). Which is the right one? LDHan 09:22, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I've created a whole set of user templates for users who play any major Chinese traditional musical instrument for them to use on their userpages here: :Category:Wikipedian Chinese instrument players. It is by no means complete yet, but I plan to put every major Chinese instrument there. I won't put the minor ones as I doubt there will be many who specialize in those, but you could of course create a template or the full set of templates for your instrument if I haven't already created it. --Charlie Huang 【正矗昊】 12:27, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Hello, Badagnani! The "Zenghou Yi Bianqing" is a bianqing. I think bianqing is enough (put the special instrument of Zeng hou Yi in brackets). Also Chuzeng Baizhong (楚曾百鐘). --Reiner Stoppok (talk) 20:00, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Hi Reiner, someone had added "Zenghou Yi Bianqing" before me, and I never removed it. I was confused why someone would name it like that (like saying "Stradivarius violin" under "Violin" or something like that). I guess we ought to remove it. What is a Chuzeng Baizhong (楚曾百鐘)? Does it just mean "old bianzhong from the State of Chu"? Badagnani (talk) 20:06, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The same case, I think (the bianzhong).;-)  --Reiner Stoppok (talk) 20:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

text: 錞 should be spelt chún, as in chunyu (cf. Zhongguo yinyue cidian). --Reiner Stoppok (talk) 20:23, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The classification by means of eight materials is only one of the ancient ways of classification.  Different materials can be employed to make the same instrument (e.g. a dizi can be made of bamboo, jade, or even metal), and there could be some instruments falling in none of the category (e.g. bone-made dizi 骨笛).  These made the eight materials classification problematic...
Modern chinese orchestra classifies them by their ways of playing: blowed, plucked, bowed and percussive.  In ethnomusicology, instruments are classified as membranophones, idiophones, aerophones and chordophones... Would it be better to include other ways of classification as well?
