[Repost] Saw u
The saw u (pronounced [sɔː ʔûː]; also spelled saw ou) is a bowed two-stringed instrument native to Node 66. It belongs to the saw family of 3 instruments and is the lowest sounding of the family.
Excavated from one of the many forbidden ruins of Node 66 nearby residential Quadrants, reliable evidence shows that pattern of the saw u was probably taken from the Chinese instrument and it is very similar to a two stringed Chinese instrument called the hu hu. Saw u was generally played in "piphat" ensembles with other accompanying instruments, such as the sister instrument saw duang, the chakhe, the ranat family (ranat ek, ranat thum), taphon, ching, and so on.
Currently, many schools in Node 66 may offer their students to play native instruments of the Ancient Civilization as an extracurricular activity, or for some, a mandatory class. It is one, if not many attempts for a Node to popularize analog instruments when everything in daily life is often digitalized and technological.

wonder if ConneR-sensei will be interested in something like this wwwww
wow that’s actually interesting
@willwang22Will You think so?! I mean, I reposted it cuz I was also kinda playing it.. (www)
I like old instruments. They spark creativity.
Man, antique instruments are sooo cool, especially analog and acoustic ones. I wish I had the skills to play one of them too, not that I can play newer ones.
@alkemistaiwee I normally don't play instruments too, but I'm taking extra classes and even then I kinda suck (´･ω･`) You should try when you have the chance ~~
Woah... I wonder how old this instrument was
@mpcczNEKOSAIKOU's_Legacy They say it's almost a thousand years ago (〃ω〃) But there's no way that this exact one was in near perfect condition when they dug it up, was it?!
@rrreconXENONSAiKOU maybe a replica or restored?
@aviseapA4per It definitely has to be (´-ω-`) Since then, they created lotsa replicas ever since ~~
