Länk - Klassisk musik stort i Kina
China, with an estimated 30 million piano students and 10 million violin students, is on an opposite trajectory. Tests to enter the top conservatories now attract nearly 200,000 students a year, compared with a few thousand annually in the 1980s, according to the Chinese Musicians Association. Music-related manufacturing has also exploded. As of 2003, 87 factories made Western-style musical instruments. By last year, the number had grown to 142 factories producing 370,000 pianos, one million violins and six million guitars. China dominates world production of all three.
