Fantastic! 12 years later, in 2021 (this year) I’ve captured similar instruments playing some of the same melodies from Lahu villagers about 70km northwest of Chiang Mai. I was watching your video thinking, “I know this melody!” On my TH-cam channel there’s a playlist of Lahu videos if you’re interested…
The instruments are common to many ethnic people from China to Thailand. I have another youTube clip of similar reed pipes played in the streets of Yangshuo.
@@exoteeb9204 It's the same thing. You come back to China you'll see different styles of qeej, the qeej in Guizhou is different from qeej in Yunnan or Sichuan, there're small ones and there're really huge ones, there're qeejs equiped with different numbers of keys. Lisu came from Yunnan, more specifically western Yunnan, they went down to South East Asia after the Opium War --btw this was the same time Hmong went down to South East Asia. If you visit Hmong living in western Yunnan today, you'll find their qeej is closer to the version in this video.
@@arbs3ry what is it called in Lisu? I can see similarities but I can't say it's the same thing because the sound and tunes are different from Hmong. Our tune will have different meanings from Lisu peoples. I guess that's the point I was trying to say. Sorry if I've offended you in any way.
@@exoteeb9204 Not at all. I don't know what they call in Lisu, but from what I observe, the instrument has either some sound close to Qeej or Sheng. Some subgroups of Yi people-- the biggest Loloish ethnic group in South West China call it something close to Qeej, so I guess Lisu too call it something like that, as Lisu too is a Loloish ethnic group but with smaller population. In Han Chinese it's all Lusheng. It's one of the most widespread music instruments across southwest China. There're various forms of Lusheng, they look a bit different, some has 5 tones some has more than 7 or even more, some are as small as hand, some are more than 2 meter long. But the key structure is the same. We still have qeej that look the same as the one in Laos in China. Last month in Sandu Guizhou province, there's a Qeej competition, different ethnic groups (Hmong、Yao、Shui、Yi、Dong...) carried their various types of Qeejs there to compete. Actually I just ran into a Hmong Qeej maker in Sichuan got order from Lisu people when I search videos. The look and sound really depend on regions. Different regions\ethnic groups have different types of Qeej and they play in their own tunes and styles.

Wow, this looks like Hmong Instruments and also the sounds of it two. Amazing!
It's the same instrument. Instruments and cultures are shared by various ethnic groups in and from China.
@@arbs3ry No, I can see that it is built differently. In Hmong it's called qeej or lusheng. Which looks different from this instrument.
