chinese music primer

Alas, no audio clips! Instead, this site features a comprehensive list of traditional chinese instruments, fittingly accompanied by photographs (the different instruments--particularly the bowed ones--are beautiful and well worth checking out). Also interesting is the quick introduction to traditional Chinese music, which humorously draws attention to the differences between Mongol and Han characteristics. It won't take you long to digest all the material here--so finish your visit by going to the Links page, where you'll finally get hooked up to some real tunes!
