How to annoy people in hostels or practicing Chinese instruments

I wanted to buy some Chinese instruments whilst I was here. In Shanghai I managed to stumble across The Traditional Instrument Factory where I hung around and pestered the guy who fronted the shop until he succumb and showed me some basic techniques for 2 instruments. I am now the proud (remind me of that after a day of lugging them around with my backpack)owner of 2 stringed instruments. The Er-Hu and the Liuqin.

The Er-Hu is known as the 2 stringed violin. It is appropriate for deep tragedy and for the momentum of an avalanche. How could I resist!

The Liuqin is like a small lute or a mandolin with 4 strings and has a willow leaf shaped body (which is the actual translation for Liuqin). It was originally used in folk songs (known in some provinces as sad songs) and operas.
