Musical instruments recognition is a widely used application for music information retrieval. As most of previous musical instruments recognition dataset focus on western musical instruments, it is difficult for researcher to study and evaluate the area of traditional Chinese musical instrument recognition. This paper propose a traditional Chinese music dataset for training model and performance evaluation, named ChMusic. This dataset is free and publicly available, 11 traditional Chinese musical instruments and 55 traditional Chinese music excerpts are recorded in this dataset. Then an evaluation standard is proposed based on ChMusic dataset. With this standard, researchers can compare their results following the same rule, and results from different researchers will become comparable.
