* / qinqin http://www.alansondheim.org/fishcove04.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/qinqinsong.mp3 The qinqin is a Chinese instrument based on a scale of seven 'equidistant' notes (compared to our usual scale of twelve) to the octave. This opens up a lot of opportunities; you can hear the scales of Chinese opera here. It has very high frets and is a bit difficult to play, but here it is and I'm doing something related to opera, to pipa music, to dance and breath, upon it -
