The Sunadama drum was passed from Ladakh. , at the beginning a suna will take the lead, and then a drum starts. The listener can immediately know from this tune what celebration is going on now."
Tibetan recorder
Tibetan Autonomous Region Song and Dance Ensemble player Dorji: "The sound of the Tibetan recorder. It is very nice and soft. It is also accompanied by drums. It starts with a heavy drum, so the sound is very loud, and then the drum sound becomes quieter after starting to play softly. "
Tongqin
Tibet Autonomous Region Song and Dance Ensemble player Ping. Tsogara: "Tongqin is one of the oldest brass instruments spread in Tibet. Because it is played in the form of wind, it has a longer sound volume and can play three modes. It is often combined with Jialing, drum cymbals, and Su Na. Let's play together. It has a long history, basically around 1600 or 1700. Its sound is very powerful, and this instrument is also used in many song and dance performances. "
Biwang
Tibet Autonomous Region Song and Dance Ensemble player Dolma: " Biwang is an instrument used by men and women in eastern Tibet when singing and dancing. The melody also has a slow part. After it is slow, the speed is slowly increased. After the speed is accelerated, it becomes very cheerful later. It is a musical instrument that imitates people's singing, and its melodiousness is stronger."
Zhanian
Mima Wangla, a performer from the Tibet Autonomous Region Song and Dance Troupe: "The Zhanian was first spread from Ngari, Shigatse, Qamdo, and Amdo areas. In the past, there are various types of Zhanian playing, including Ali playing method, Lhasa playing method, Gongbu playing method, etc. I didn’t like Zhanian playing method that much at first, but after learning it, it gave me a different feeling. Moreover, there are many ways to play the Zha Nian Qin, and different regions have different tastes, so I started to like this instrument. "
Shiqin
Yang Zhen, a player of the Tibet Autonomous Region Song and Dance Ensemble: "Shiqin is an ancient percussion instrument. Found in Tibet, Qinghai, and Gansu, it is a simple and unpretentious instrument, but the tone it produces is beautiful and unique. It is mainly played in turns. "
Eagle Flute
Tsedan, a national first-level performer of the Tibet Autonomous Region Song and Dance Ensemble and a representative inheritor of the Tibet Autonomous Region's intangible cultural heritage: "The Eagle Flute also has a long history in Tibet, with a history of 1,700 years. It is an instrument made from the wing bones of an eagle. These instruments could also be seen in pastoral areas a long time ago, but they are not seen on the stage at all. In 1997, the first flute was produced for Tibetan professional art groups to perform. The eagle flute is high-pitched and the sound is very bright when played. ”
