Local provincial governments in China are just throwing money away for vanity projects. If it is not a gigantic golden Mao statute, it’s a gigantic German pipe organ.
I can assure you the province where the Xi-an music school is located needs an instrument to detect air pollution more than an instrument to blow that air around some more.
Chinese air pollution is pretty apparent already and hardly “needs an instrument to detect” it.
Oh, what would the Cultural Revolutionists think !
I’m sure the terra-cotta soldiers will enjoy it
I’m just going to donate my organs.
I will follow with interest. However, the builder’s website has nothing about this installation as of 16-03-2016, either under New Works, or Press Releases.
