By the way: The sheng (The Chinese mouth organ) is an instrument with a long history, whose repertoire is divided between the traditional and the contemporary. To welcome and encourage future creations, a team of researchers (France, Germany, Austria, China, Taiwan, Japan) has worked on the history, the different models of mouth organ, the repertoire, the acoustic study, the gestural analysis of improvisation, the combination of fingerings, the notation, and explored this historical instrument which lends itself surprisingly well to modernity. All this research was and is accompanied by a series of seminars.
