Mar 27, 2010 - The hichiriki is the one on the left, played by the person wearing white clothes. The sho is a pipe-organ (you can see the pipes of different lengths), held vertically, played by the person on the right

MylesPrower Says:

Jul 18, 2010 - The Sho is the big one sticking up and the hichiriki is the real loud, whiny one.

You can find the comparable Chinese Sheng, of Laotian Khaen on ebay. Both beautiful sounding instruments for around $100.

Mar 6, 2012 - Ye... would be badass to have a sho, or even just samples of it for programs like cubase. :|
