SanXian: The Bajo of the East
SanXian (literally means "3 strings") can be traced back
to Qin dynasty, 3rd century B.C. It is mostly known to the
West through its Japanese decedent, samisen. SanXian's
sound character is a bit similar to Banjo.
SanXian comes in a several sizes, the big SanXian can
be a tough challenge for short musicians. Even though
SanXian has always been a vital component in the
Chinese music, in modern times people inclined to learn
other instruments over it for various reasons.
SanXian is still widely used in all
kinds of folk musical acts and
performances everywhere.
Nowadays in the Shanghai area, a
revived form of performance,
PingTan (評彈), is usually performed
as a duet of a PiPa and a SanXian.
Appreciating this kind of local forms
of musical performances
characterizes that China is, once
again, embracing her own historical
music tradition.
ChineeSanXian captures and
recreates SanXian faithfully and is
powered by the new Windows
native QIN engine.
