BEIJING, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) — Accordions made in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region are planned to be exported to Kazakhstan, Belarus and other countries, according to the opening ceremony of the accordion studio of the China Musical Instrument Society in Tacheng, local media reported.
Tarbagatai accordions will be exported through the Baktu checkpoint on the Chinese-Kazakh border. Tarbagatai has established the assembly of this musical instrument with the involvement of international suppliers of parts and components, and has become the first locally assembled accordion manufacturer in Xinjiang. In Tacheng, Tarbagatai accordions are already perceived as a major achievement in using cultural resources to promote industrial development.
According to Song Yalong, head of the city's cultural and tourism bureau, Tacheng's accordion culture has made the transition from a local phenomenon to an international brand. The most important events in this process were the first accordion festival with a record number of performers – more than one thousand people in 2016, getting into the Shanghai Great World Guinness Book of Records, and the participation of performers from countries along the Belt and Road and other foreign countries in the 2024 festival. And in 2025, Tacheng and its accordion culture were glorified by 5,282 accordion lovers, who set a new record with their collective performance, officially registered by representatives of the Guinness Book of Records. It is noteworthy that about a thousand of them played the accordion of the Tarbagatai brand.
In the first half of this year, Tacheng received about 3 million tourists, and accordion culture is considered an important factor and driver of tourist growth.
As noted, the new studio, as a platform for interaction between performers and accordion manufacturers, will contribute to the further popularization, preservation and development of the art of playing this musical instrument. -0-
