CMI Editorial Desk

The editorial profile behind Chinese Musical Instruments, including review scope, evidence limits, and update responsibility.

Editorial role

CMI Editorial Desk maintains this guide as a task-first reference for English-speaking listeners, learners, teachers, travelers, and careful buyers.

  • The desk turns instrument records, source pages, public collection images, and listening notes into reader-facing pages.
  • The desk does not sell instruments, rank vendors, or claim performer-level authority where source evidence is not strong enough.
  • When a page has playable audio, the file page, creator, license link, and instrument match are kept with the source record.

Review boundary

Pages are reviewed for practical usefulness, public truth, source traceability, and whether a reader can take a better next step after reading.

  • Identification pages must connect name, sound source, visible form, and context.
  • Buying pages must stay neutral and focus on risk checks instead of pretending to endorse a seller.
  • Sound pages must teach listening differences without embedding clips that lack commercial-safe file-level evidence.
