Expanded Information

The national orchestra was created in the 1920s under the cultural exchange between China and the West. Synthesizing the traditional silk and bamboo bands and wind and percussion ensembles, and imitating the Western symphony orchestra's establishment to a partial extent, there are more than two hundred kinds of national instruments .

China's ethnic instruments lack bass instruments, so the more common practice is to use bass violins from Western instruments as compensation, and cellos are also used.

Some modernist folk music works will have acoustic requirements that are less common in the tradition, and may require a Western instrument as an aid.
