YES from Chinese Orchestra

Great news. RP's Chinese Orchestra have agreed to let us record them during the first week of our June holidays.

The recording shedule will take about 3 days. The first day will consist of preparation and a dry run so we don't cock up on the actual recording days and waste everyone's time and energy.

The next two days will consist of recording the different instruments found in the Chinese Ensemble such as Guzheng, Erhu, Yangqin and Dizi.

Hopefully, all goes well but the Chinese Orchestra are not used to improvising so we have to give
them some string or similar sounding Western instruments sound samples that can give them an idea of what we want them to play.

If this doesn't go too well however, we still have our back up plan of recording the Japanese and Indian instruments found in the STA lab.
