The weather in Shanghai is great, with temperatures ranging between 17 - 24 degrees celsius. Here's a picture of where the Shanghai Music fair is held:
Here's something that greeted me the first moment I stepped into the fairgrounds.A lovely oriental woman in Greek goddess robes playing a see-through Erhu! What a way to start my day.
I wanted to upload a video clip, but with an upload speed of 4kb/s, the 22MB clip will have to wait. It looks like she is just hand-syncing, because I don't see any way the Erhu is mic-up. The other Greek goddess on the mouth Dizi played live though. I'll upload their videos when I get back home, along with a 5 minute clip of a whole gang of lovely oriental women in Greek goddess garb prancing around the stage hand syncing "Tian Ya Ge Nu".But you're not here to see lovely oriental women(I think), so I took some close up shots of the see-through Erhu that was on display on Shanghai Dunhuang's booth.
Not exactly one of their new products as it was already featured in last year's show. But I thought you might be interested. I'll try it tomorrow to see how it sounds.So stay tuned! Lots of interesting stuff coming up.....
