Just in case you haven’t noticed this under my selection of photos of the Li family Daoists (Photos—Duh), I like it:

The earliest instruments in the Li family collection, from the Hongwu era of the Ming dynasty..
Seriously though folks, I found these in the county-town as gifts for the young son of Li Manshan’s daughter Li Min. The perfect gift for the scion of a household Daoist: yunluo gong-frame, guanzi oboe, and drum—all the ensemble lacks is a harmonica to represent the sheng mouth-organ.
