Collection information of Olympic percussion

Two kinds of materials: 1) Resin frame, steel keel cowhide drum surface LED light.

2) Large core board veneer frame, steel keel cowhide drum surface LED lights.

Fou is a traditional musical instrument in Chinese history. The most famous allusion to it is the story of "the King of Qin beating a percussion for the King of Zhao" in the "Records of the Grand Historian - The Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru". Zhang Yimou used "percussion to welcome guests" as the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games overture, is also taken from the ancients. At the opening ceremony, the director used modern sound and light high-tech means, the ancient orchestra performance was reinterpreted.

Fifteen hundred Olympic percussions were auctioned off after the Games, and the rest were distributed by the OCOG to government departments and agencies involved in the organization and construction of the Games.

In all the Olympic percussion using resin mold molding of Olympic percussion (we call the sculpture percussion) number of only about 10%, the Olympic Games site arranged in the outside of the percussion array, mainly to consider the effect of the media camera. The middle of the array of percussion are large core board veneer percussion (we call the veneer percussion), the largest number of such.

The reason for the two materials is that the production time was so urgent that a compromise had to be made. Before the end of the Olympic Games did not consider the value of fou re-exploration, after the Olympic Games before the auction, the organizing committee and the North Stock Exchange recognized the difference in value between the two materials fou, so in each auction package are transferred to have a "carved fou", the number is very small, more precious.
