In this video, a man demonstrates exceptional musical ability with the Suona horn, a traditional instrument vital to Chinese folk music and religious ceremonies. He is able to play not just one but 16 of them at once!! Use of the Suona extends across 30 countries throughout Asia, Africa & Europe with its first introduction to China being via Persia. Its influence is deeply woven into the history of China, especially in the case of ritual music. The shrill and noisy sound produced is similar to that of an oboe. In this clip, the man featured demonstrates particular adeptness in handling the instrument. In addition, to playing 16 at once he also speaks with the  Suona. What a unique and unusual skill to have!
