I removed the phrase "non-mainstream" from the article, let's face it, Incubus is not a 'non-mainstream' band. I love the song, don't get me wrong, but its by no means non-mainstream. we don't need imaginary 'street cred' to prove incubus has a good song here, lets remain neutral.

Which Asian instrument?

The pipa article says the song uses a Chinese pipa. But the kokyu article now says it's a kokyu. Why did someone add this into the pipa article if it's an entirely different instrument? They're not even similar in sound: the kokyu produces a harsh viola-like sound while the pipa sounds like a brittle mandolin. Also, is it a Japanese kokyu or a Chinese erhu (sometimes called "kokyu" by the Japanese)? Where can I hear this (or see a photo of the instrument Einziger used) to make sure?

Oh, it was the band's mistake. It was a pipa, not a kokyu. See http://incubus-online-view.com/iframe/faqs.php Badagnani 20:07, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
