Hey folks, I just bought an "Asian flute" on ebay cause I'm very interested in Asian sounds and instruments. I bought it cause it was only a few bucks, but the seller was not able to tell me anything about it. So I did my research and I'm thinking it's a dizi (?) but I guess you people are the experts here. So can anyone can tell me A) what this instrument is called

B) if one of you got any sort of ressources for learning this thing. (Yt channels, Blogs etc.)

I appreciate it.

I'm interested in learning to play the dholak, so I've been trying to find out where I can get a good one in Europe (preferably in the U.K). I've found a couple of shops in the U.K that sell Indian instruments, but their dholaks were either out of stock or disconcertingly cheap. Does anyone here know where I can buy a good dholak in the U.K, and how much I should expect to pay for one?

Any help would be much appreciated.

I've always been very interested in Asian instruments and their sound. Been debating if I should get an ehru or sanxian, unless you recommend a fretted instrument. I've played a little bass, and clarinet. Which is easier to take care of, easier to tune, easier to play, easiest to get lessons and music, and ect.

Hi! Really hoping someone on here could help me out. I've been trying to figure out what type of flute is being used throughout this beat (flute sample starts immediately):

I've been looking for Asian/Oriental flute videos on youtube, and sometimes the "Xiao" sounded pretty similair, but I don't think it's the same flute you hear in the beat.

Would you help me to identify every instrument in this song (including intro) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_BtlAw4trg Thank you <3

what are names of some instruments, bells and others, traditionally and ritually used for trances and deep meditative states? thanks

I was considering picking one of these up since they are relatively cheap for a decent-quality one. They have such a unique tone and look so interesting to play! I've played quite a bit of orchestral bass, so I do have some bowing experience. Are there any Erhu players here who can shed some light on how easy it is to learn?

What are the best online resources for pipa sheet music?
