[@kyisoehan7442]

proof that music transcend cultures

[@EarnestWilliamsGeofferic]

So far I have learned that the ruan and the erhu are brilliant bluegrass instruments. Ms Ding is awesome.

[@rickbullock4331]

Wow! two very talented players. I’m really impressed with the traditional Chinese instrument, it sounds very similar to the banjo. Nicely done.👍👍🇨🇦

[@fieldsofomagh]

Love Ms Ding playing. She is so skilled at what she does and has a lovely personality to go with it.

[@MrSango123]

how cute is the little girl

[@johnmiddleditch3656]

🤪Oh Ms Ding, what a pleasure you are. Please play us more of your music.

[@daryl5379]

Ms Ding is so talented, but the thing i so admire is that she is taking a 1000 year old traditional chinese instrument and playing todays bluegrass. The fact she is trying that and is so great is really admirable.

[@parsnip2699]

She's an accomplished musician. She could probably play anything on her instruments. Super talented!

[@catherinehazur7336]

So smooth and nice the Ruan sounds with the guitar. She certainly has succeeded in adapting the bluegrass sound to the traditional Chinese instruments that she plays so well

[@vincewong6367]

She is a talented musician! Where is she from? China?

[@catherinehazur7336]

@@vincewong6367 yes, China.

I don't know how this video showed up in my recommendations, but I'm so glad it did!! I love bluegrass music and also traditional Chinese instruments; to see them combined in such an excellent way is truly delightful! I hope you will continue making videos like this!

[@texputter7928]

Don't know how I stumbled across this, but I'm sure glad I did, love it!

[@spacelemur7955]

These two would be a hit at any bluegrass festival in the campground jam sessions. The Chinese instruments might even inspire folks to buy one.

[@ChingFong58]

Its great that we can have this Chinese / American connection...I just hope that the power hungry elites from both sides dont ruin it.

[@arnold1859]

Most lovely, Great music played by excellent musicians. Thank you very much. ✌☮

It’s a great idea to use these traditional instruments in bluegrass music. It works really well!

Beautiful. A lovely combination. Chinese traditional music is also beautiful, as is some old-sounding Chinese pop music.

What a Wonderful rendition of Cripple Creek. I could listen your music..all day. Thanks.

Thanks, I forgot the name of that one. It was great

[@noahcount7132]

Excellent video. 👍 It would be a genuine treat to see and hear the extremely talented Ms. Ding perform alongside highly regarded American bluegrass mandolin player Sierra Hull.

[@brucenh9076]

Loved this video - fun to learn about an instrument that I don't know - also, your daughter is adorable.

[@jellysalsa]

This is great hearing bluegrass played on traditional Chinese instruments. There is a video somewhere on KZbin of a concert in Vancouver Canada many years ago with Chinese musicians playing brilliant bluegrass on several traditional instruments. I happy to see this. Having said that, bluegrass does have a certain sound produced by banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro etc. those are the traditional instruments if that music.

[@lordemed1]

NIce Martin guitar, Eric!😀

[@StereoSpace]

Ms Ding is a beautiful woman and quite the musician. I'm always so impressed with accomplished musicians. (I'm jealous of them.)

[@rhatid]

Great idea to use the Chinese traditional instruments to play bluegrass, and they are so effective, sound so good. Congratulations to you both.

[@Elephantsss]

Thank you, beautiful music

[@ryanmbira3968]

好听！

[@doowoppapa]

It s great to see that bluegrass music has infiltrated the world and some other accoustic instruments have complimented it great stuff

[@rojack1947]

You both was so excellent. I think you should start a bluegrass group and get some bluegrass songs and start practicing them and start touring with Chinese Bluegrass.

[@pteddie6965]

Great job. I loved listening to you play Bluegrass Music. Is Bluegrass Music being discovered by many musicians in China today?

[@jankrusat2150]

It seems that Chinese folk music and Appallachian folk music (of which Bluegrass is a sp9in off) have a lot in common, especially the pentatonic scales.

[@stevejacobson7128]

Since Bluegrass can be played on a traditional Chinese instrument; I wonder if traditional Chinese music could be played on the banjo?

[@WillemTheUnsilent]

I tried it! It works really well with both banjo and Mandolin. I am a bluegrass mandolinist from Savannah with Chinese heritage and sometimes I switch around 😅

[@victorkroud3642]

@@WillemTheUnsilent-Too cool! (I used to live in Georgia, and knew a mandolin builder there. Don’t hear much bluegrass since moving. But I enjoy this KZbin site also. )

Sorry Ms Ding whit a capital letter😂

[@johnbauman4005]

​@@fransdielis2532It's displayed on that video next to her name. It is an erhu. See their cover of "Amarillo by Morning," where she makes it sing.

播主不知道cross string叫分解和弦，民乐人哪知道cross string...其实在近代，中国阮已经按照古典吉他，做了大幅度改良了，连手型都是古典式的

[@lordemed1]

Can you imagine China and the U.S. working together for the benefit of the world? It could happen

[@mikek5298]

One is an authoritarian dictatorship running a surveillance state; the other is democracy with rule of law. When the Chinese Communist Party surrenders and allows the Chinese people to govern themselves we can work together. Until then, no chance.

[@eventtrading]

Love it!

[@GrimReaper-cp5iq]

Wow, I like the sound of the Ruan!!! It fits bluegrass nicely.

[@GrimReaper-cp5iq]

Wow!!! You two need to tour the U.S., please.
