Vietnamese monochord - traditional 1-string musical instrument torrent

Monochord - ?àn b?u is a Vietnamese monochord (Vietnamese traditional 1-string musical instrument): ?àn b?u consists of a long piece of wood, on which is stretched a silk or brass string, which is fastened at one end to a peg and at the other to a flexible bamboo plate. The string is passed repeatedly through an open dried gourd as sound box. Although having only one string, it can emit all the sounds in the pentatonic scale. The eight notes of Vietnamese music give modulations of greater amplitudes than those obtained by any other single-stringed instrument in the world.

Here is the three very nice CDs which is a production of Thuy Nga Production Center of Master Ph?m ??c Thành. Master Ph?m grew up a rural country boy in Northern Vietnam, eventually graduating from Vietnam's National Conservatory with top honors for ?àn b?u (monochord). Master Ph?m ??c Thành is now a resident of Montrèal,Canada along with his wife and son.
