Regarding the playing of the suona, the following will give you a detailed introduction from several aspects.

Preliminary preparations: After the reed is inserted into the mouthpiece, we can see that there is a piece of wire on the reed. The lips may rest on the wire, or a little further back, with only one-third or two-thirds of the reed, as the case may be. The shape of the mouth should be correct, so that the lip muscles are retracted and the smiling muscles are grinned. In layman's terms, the muscles of the lips contract in a smile.

The first step is to blow a full voice. A better breathing method is "Dantian Breathing". When inhaling, the lower abdomen is contracted inward, the ribs of the chest are expanded outward, and the movement of the lower abdomen is used to control the rapidity of exhalation. Generally, the inhalation should be faster and more. ; And the protruding time should be slow and less, and pay attention to the use of abdominal movements to control the breath.

Tunnel tone: The tone played when all the holes are pressed is used as the reference tone. For beginners, it is recommended to start practicing with the fingering of the bass tones.

The suona has a total of eight holes, seven in the front and one in the back. The seventh hole as shown in the picture is the only hole on the back. Be careful not to press the wrong fingering.

Left hand up, right hand down. The left thumb presses the seventh hole on the back, and the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger press the eighth, sixth, and fifth holes from top to bottom, respectively. The right thumb supports the back of the suona, and the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are also from top to bottom, pressing the fourth, third, second, and first holes in turn.
