I didn't know this next instrument existed until I started searching for new ideas. It is called the Sheng (笙) and it resembles a cross between a pipe organ and a pan flute. In fact, many Westerners call it the "Chinese mouth organ." It was first made during the Zhou dynasty around 551 BC and exists as one of the world's oldest instruments. It was also the first instrument utilizing a "coupled acoustical system," meaning it uses both air columns and free reeds. It usually is made with 17 to 36 pipes on a small wind chamber with a free brass reed at the base through which air is blown to make sound. The player determines which notes are played by pressing on small keys near the base to select which pipes receive the air. They can cover two or more holes on various pipes in order to make chords, a common technique used by regional orchestras in China. It's the only Chinese instrument that can play up to six notes at the same time.
