What is Sheng (instrument)?
The '''Sheng''' ({{lang-zh|c=笙}}) is a Chinese free reed wind instrument consisting of usually 17 bamboo pipes set in a small wind-chest into which a musician blows through a mouthpiece. Each pipe has a free reed, made of metal (or formerly of bamboo or reed), that vibrates to produce sound when a finger hole on the pipe is covered. {{music-stub}} [[Category:Musical instruments]]
