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.
