Ever since I've watched Longest Day in Chang'an (长安十二时辰), I've been listening to these. If you didn't catch that drama series, I highly recommend it. The plot is a little bit outlandish at times, but damn they got the historical details down so well.

 
Our music is always slow and soothing. But these days the kids love those hip hop shit which I hate. But I have one song I'd like you to listen to. Very cute it is. Not sure if you've heard it before. Listen with the headphones on. :)

it is very popular in malaysia..when will the dog barking version come out? lol
 
I like their playing, and I especially like the way they look. The patterned wood grain enhances the appearance of the instrument (but it also increases the cost). Herringbone" decks are made of two pieces of wood with a texture at a certain angle to the center of the bar. In cheaper instruments, such as mandolinexpert.com, the top deck is usually laminate, a multi-layered laminated wood often veneered with a patterned veneer on top. Laminated decks are shaped by bending under pressure, making the manufacturing process much cheaper. Unlike the guitar, the bridge (sub-string) of the mandolin is not attached to the soundboard but is fixed by strings. It is often made of ebony or rosewood.
