Hulusi Gourd Flute

Hulusi Gourd Flute

The hulusi gourd flute , also known as the cucurbit flute and the gourd flute, is a free reed wind instrument from china, vietnam, and the shan state, played also by the indigenous people of assam.

Working Principle of Hulusi Flute

A free-reed aerophone, the hulusi is usually played by dai and yi minority tribes in yunnan, china. This chinese gourd flute is related to instruments such as the bawu. Known as the bilingdao to the dais, it is usually played by their men to woo and demonstrate love towards women; other minorities play this instrument while take a breather from field work.

 

Many appreciate the hulusi for its warm tone and haunting timbre, but owing to its limited volume, it is hardly used in ensembles. The first hulusi was created in 1958, consisting of fourteen notes. In the seventies, the hulusi was then developed to include two pipes, each tuned a fourth apart from each other.

 

Currently, single-pipe hulusis are not commonly found; most are usually made with two or three pipes. These are stopped with wax or cloth, altering their pitch. More developed models have a mechanism reminiscent of the slide-whistle, allowing the performer to tune this gourd flute to any pitch. Alto, tenor and bass versions are also available. Today's hulusi is typically constructed with three pipes, two tone pipes and seven finger holes (in the centre pipe), and is typically tuned to the c major pentatonic scale.

The Causes And Improvement Strategies Of Breath-Holding In Hulusi Gourd Flute Performance

First of all, the generation of suffocation is mainly from the following aspects:

• Immature breathing skills: Fenugreek performance requires the use of abdominal breathing and circular breathing and other professional skills. If the performer does not master the correct breathing method, he may feel the lack of breath supply when playing long notes or fast phrases continuously, resulting in a feeling of suffocation.

 

• Improper breath control: Failure to reasonably distribute breath during performance, especially in the strong and weak changes of the music, if the breathing rhythm and intensity can not be adjusted in time, it is easy to have breath tension and suffocation.

 

• Body posture and degree of relaxation: When playing fenugreek, the correct sitting or standing posture and the degree of relaxation of various parts of the body are crucial. If the neck, shoulder and abdominal muscles are tense, it will affect the normal work of the respiratory organs, resulting in suffocation.

 

To solve the above problems, we can take the following improvement measures:

• Systematically learn breathing techniques: Through professional music education courses, learn and practice abdominal breathing and circular breathing to ensure adequate and stable breath supply.

 

• Practice breath control: In daily practice, add special breath training, gradually improve the playing time that one breath can maintain, and learn to flexibly switch breathing modes in different parts of the music.

 

• Pay attention to body coordination and relaxation: Do proper warm-up exercises before playing, keep the body posture relaxed and natural during playing, especially pay attention to the relaxation of neck, shoulder and abdominal muscles, so as to breathe more smoothly.

 

Through the above targeted training and adjustment, players can not only effectively alleviate the feeling of choking when playing fenugreek, but also further improve the performance level, and fully appreciate and show the unique charm of this traditional instrument.
