The Oriental Musical Instrument Museum of Shanghai Conservatory of Music has more than 400 kinds of musical instruments. It is divided into four parts: ancient Chinese musical instruments, modern Chinese musical instruments, musical instruments of Chinese ethnic minorities, and musical instruments of foreign ethnic minorities. The collection of musical instruments includes about 400 pieces (sets). Among the ancient musical instruments, the oldest is the Jiahu bone flute, which has a history of 8,000 years. It has seven tones and is a treasure of the town. "Modern National Instruments" displays the national orchestral instruments in use in contemporary China: from dozens of blowing, stringing, playing and percussion instruments, it shows China's reform achievements and development trajectory since the 1950s. From the ethnic musical instrument exhibition area, you can see the colorful wind and string instruments of the ethnic minorities in the motherland. The foreign ethnic musical instrument exhibition area displays ethnic and folk musical instruments from various countries and regions around the world, such as the Veena from India, the Shakuhachi from Japan, and the Gong Wei from Thailand.
