Are there any traditional musical instruments now?

Nowadays, many parents like to let their children learn a musical instrument, which can not only be used as a skill, but also be influenced by the traditional culture of China. But now there are fewer and fewer children learning traditional musical instruments, and many children will choose to learn piano or guitar and other musical instruments. Why?

First of all, it takes a lot of time and energy to learn traditional musical instruments. On the one hand, it is difficult to find a teacher. On the other hand, better traditional musical instruments are expensive. Compared with western musical instruments, traditional musical instruments are narrower and more difficult, which is why many parents choose western musical instruments.

In my opinion, traditional musical instruments will never be out of date, because they represent the traditional culture of China and always exude the traditional charm of China. For example, the unique timbre of suona is difficult for all musical instruments to simulate. When the sound of suona comes out, all musical instruments may be eclipsed. Before, there was a movie called "A Hundred Birds at the Phoenix", and I believe everyone will be suona when watching it.

Traditional musical instruments need more enthusiasm, more recognition and more support. If traditional musical instruments can have more performance opportunities, or professional musicians can have better career development by choosing traditional musical instruments, then Chinese traditional musical instruments will surely glow with new vitality.

If I have to choose, I think I might choose the pipa, the king of Chinese traditional musical instruments, because I have been learning Bai Juyi's pipa since I was a child, and I still can't forget a sentence: humming, whispering-and then blending with each other, like pearls of all sizes pouring on a plate of jade. It can be called a masterpiece through the ages, and it also fully shows the charm of this traditional musical instrument.
