January 3, 201214 yr Hi YC This might be the wrong category, if so sorry. I found an amazing youtube site while doing some investigation on traditional asian instruments: http://www.youtube.com/user/AtlasEnsemble1?feature=watch And I wanted to share it, and ask if some of you have other links, or just information yourselves about a tradtional instrument which is typically foreign to the classical music. I think it's very interesting to hear about instruments with more than 12 notes within an octave, just as an example. So please do share if you happen to know something about a traditional instrument from your country or something.
