Description Chèo – Vietnamese traditional stage art in Ninh Bình province Traditionally, musicians had to use drums and small wooden sticks used to beat a small bamboo box for percussion (phách) to produce instrumental music. In modern Chèo, other traditional musical instruments are used to enrich the accompaniment including a flute, a moon – shaped lute (đàn nguyệt), a two – string violin (đàn nhị), a one – string chord (đàn bầu), three – string chord (đàn tam) and so on to depict character expressions in various situations.
