I transcribed a little part of the intro. More in phrases, no correct counted timing. I was just trying to catch the manner.

32) Pad Waing - 21 Tones

Bild
21 tones. The Pad Waing consists of 21 hanging drums in a circle around the player.  Thaung Htike put down two possible traditional tunings and sent me a photo of his possible range of tones.  Thaung Htike and his 21 drums.  Example 1) From below I see the following structure: Lowest octave: pentatonic mixolydian scale. 1/3/4/6/7 Octave above: the same structure. Octave above: G mixolydian then 3 more tones from G mixolydian. Example 2)  From below I see the following structure: Lowest octave: C major pentatonic starting on G. Octave above: the same structure. Octave above:  G mixolydian then 3 more tones from G mixolydian. It is possible to tune any of those tones to a neighbor tone, a half step above or below. In that way different tonalities can be played.  It is possible to generate different tonalities in the different octaves. It is a bit of brain work for the player then.

Soon the Burmese people integrated the piano into their music and developed an own style.  In the beginning they tuned the pianos to their traditional tunings. Which must have been a lot of work. But soon it changed and the Burmese started tuning their original instruments in a more or less well-tempered tuning. Imitating the piano.

It is a chinese notation system.  https://www.yo...
