| There were over 1,500 entrants competing in 10 venues at this very popular festival in China. On the Sunday, a new world record for the largest number of accordionists playing together was set with 1361 accordionists at the same time playing the Chinese national anthem. An official of Guinness Records, Lisa Hoffman attended and counted the people and made the official certificate. This attempt, ratified by Guinness, will appear in their 2015 records book. See the pictures at: 2014Guinness Daily Reports and video at: 2014HohnerReport There was huge media coverage in China including many major newspapers, some front cover stories as well as national TV coverage.
