<< review queue entry 63405 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> 1) "free reed mouth organ" - a redundant expression - mouth organs in general are free reed instruments. 2) The 排箫, aka 箫, is not a reed instrument at all, as far as I can determine. It was a kind of flute, similar to panpipes. 3) The sheng doesn't necessarily have a wind chamber made from a gourd in modern times. Wp ~ "Ancient [sheng] instruments with gourd wind chambers, varying numbers of pipes, with bamboo or metal reeds have been discovered in archaeological finds at ..." Also, see this pic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheng_(instrument)#/media/File:Sheng_-_Muzeum_Azji_i_Pacyfiku_w_Warszawie.jpg That doesn't look like a gourd, does it? 4) I've mentioned in two of the defs (箫 and 竽) that the instrument was used in ancient times (ie not used nowadays). |
