ASIAN FREE REED COLLECTION

3 INSTRUMENTS BREATH + PRESSURE MODELLING KONTAKT PLAYER + NKS

ELEGANCE. BALANCE. RHYTHM.

The Chinese Sheng, Laotian Khaen, and Japanese Sho are three very similar instruments with a common ancestor. They have been traditionally made from bamboo, the aluminium of the east, since the 14th century BC.

Sound is created by both inhaling and exhaling - as with a western mouth-organ.

By controlling his breath the player can keep an almost endless sustained sound, characteristic of Japanese Sho technique, or a quick rhythmic pulsing, typical of Khaen performance.
