These videos are so creepy. Not only do the players play their instruments and sing in unison, but their every gesture is in unison.... every breath, body angle, tilt of the shoulders, facial expression, all in synch together, all robotically orchestrated and executed. Even the kids do it. Shudder. These are human beings, I think, aren't they?

Actually, it is sort of an intriguing instrument. Do you know how it is tuned? There is very little about it on the web, or in any books on Asian instruments that I've looked at. And unlike the pipa or zhong ruan (and the so-called moon-guitar) it apparently has a flat fretboard. Interesting.
