| Description |
English: Field recordings performed by an unknown group of Chinese musicians, recorded by Berthold Laufer for Franz Boaz |

| Source | Recorded to wax by Berthold Laufer and digitized at https://griffonagedotcom.wordpress.com/2020/04/28/berthold-laufers-chinese-stereo-recordings-of-1901/ |
| Author | An unidentified group of Chinese musicians: "I engaged a band of female actors and took the plays on the stage of their theatre. I used two machines which were working at the same time, one for the orchestral music, the other one for the vocal music, so that two cylinders are corresponding to each other. The songs bear the numbers 28-52, the corresponding instrumental music = 28a-52a. The orchestra consisted of 4 instruments, a guitar, fiddle, a drum and castanets. I had a double funnel, so that all instruments could easily go in, two from each side." |
