Red Ansai Waist Drum

Red Ansai Waist Drum

Red Ansai Waist Drum
“Ansai is a relatively poor county in northern Shanxi, but the people here have created a unique dance routine marked by its rustic simplicity. With a large troupe of dancers, sometimes over 100 strong, jumping and dancing in unison to the beats of drums, this dance gives an awesome outdoor performance against a background of rolling hills and deep valleys. It exhibits a strong and vigorous display of bold and unrestrained body movements. Kicking up a storm of dust, it seems to say that life is hard; defiantly, they are determined to conquer hardship. This is the Ansai Waist Drum Dance, an art form of local invention, unknown anywhere else in the world.The longstanding and renowned waist-drum dance has a unique style and integrates dance, song and wushu into a whole. The changeable procession is powerful and vigorous, bold and unrestrained. The atmosphere and rhythm are lively and enthusiastic. The waist-drum dance is suitable for performance in the open air or on stage. Dimensions: 9″”3/4Hx4″”3/4D Drumstick: 9″”L Belt: 39″”LPreparation Time: 2-3 working days”

Kuai Ban—Bamboo Clapper Set

Kuai Ban---Bamboo Clapper Set

Kuai Ban—Bamboo Clapper Set
“These are short recitations (the Chinese say singings) of rhymed verse stories to the beat of clappers made from pieces of metal, wood or bamboo. Like rap, clappertales had their origins in an underclass; beggars who went from shop to shop making up semi-extemporaneous verses. Lucky verses if you gave, scolding depictions of your faults if you did not. Clappertales only entered the variety show stage in the ’40s but remain, like the Crosstalk, widely popular today. The clappertale beat has a hypnotic quality as it urges the verse forward. The appeal is visceral and, in the hands of an expert, subtle as well. Are you nearly as fast a the Woodpecker when it comes to speaking? Run amok with the rhythm of tradition in Kuai Ban! A popular form of Chinese folk art, Kuai Ban challenges both the physical, linguistic and mental dexterity of any performer. Master the deceptively simple bamboo castanets and recite classic verses. You will never look at Mandarin the same way again! Dimensions: Big: 2″”1/2×7″”Small: 1″”3/4×4″”1/2Preparation Time: 2-3 working days”

Qi Mei Harmonica

Qi Mei Harmonica

Qi Mei Harmonica
“The simplest of the musical instruments employing free reeds, known also as the mouth organ or French harp. It was probably invented in 1829 by Friedrich Buschmann of Berlin, who called his instrument the Mund?oline. The major production of the instrument has been in Germany since the early 19th cent. The reeds are set in a small, narrow case of wood or metal. For each reed there is a hole, through which the player draws or blows air with the mouth. Commonly the instrument is diatonic, having a compass of about two octaves, but the comparatively few virtuoso harmonica players use larger instruments having the full chromatic scale. The low cost and very small size of the harmonica adapt it well to class instruction among school children, and it is a common instrument in folk, rock, blues, and other forms of popular music.

Qi Mei Pipe Melodica
“Melodicas have been very popular in music education, especially in Asia. They also turn up in popular music from time to time, particularly in reggae (played by such masters as Augustus Pablo) and even in blues (ex-Muddy Waters sideman Paul Oscher regularly uses a melodica in his live performances). The tone of the melodica is quite thin and reedy, at times reminiscent of the oboe.The Melodica is so easy to play that many educators use it for teaching the rudiments of harmony, chord formation, theory, and for choral work. You can play chords and single notes, sharps and flats just like a piano, but within a smaller range. A sweet-sounding instrument at a very affordable price. Portable, inexpensive and fun ~ perfect for camping or travel.
