A GROUP are hoping that their new CD will strike a chord with international music lovers.

The Yangchin Group was formed at Middlesbrough's Hall Garth School nine years ago. Now it has produced a CD, featuring music from Indonesia, Greece and South America.

Music teacher Chris Lewis picked up instruments on his travels. Among them are two Gingchins, stringed instruments played with hammers, and Chinese horizontal harps, called Guzhengs.

The recording is on sale for £7 from Hall Garth School
