Bianbo

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bianbo ( Chinese  编 镈 , Pinyin biānbó ) is an ancient Chinese percussion instrument that was used ritually. The bianbo consists of a set of bronze bó bells (  /  , po or 编钟 , bózhōng ) - similar to the set of the well-known bianzhong glockenspiel ( 编钟 ).

A full set of the chimes from the late spring and autumn periods was discovered in the tomb of the Marquis of Cai at Shouxian, Shou County (Shouxian), Anhui Province . A set of eight bells was also in Hougudui grave no. 1 in Gushi (province of Henan unearthed).
