For many friends who like cucurbit silk, there is such a confusion in the beginner stage: whether to learn cucurbit silk or Bau first, this phenomenon is very common. In fact, cucurbit flute and bawu belong to the same type of musical instrument, with the same arrangement of sound holes and the same fingering. In other words, putting Bawu on a gourd is a gourd silk. For beginners, Bau's breath and mouth shape are relatively difficult to use with cucurbit silk. You can choose to learn one of them first, or you can choose to learn both.

First learn hulusi or bawu

The most commonly used cucurbits for beginners are B-flat and C, and Bau in such chords are rare; the "light, floating, and soft" flavor of cucurbit is stronger; in fast fingering, combined with continuous vomit, including barrel tone During the transition, cucurbit silk can be more coherent, while Bawu is obviously much more difficult. For example, the performance of the introductory part of "Love Song of Bamboo House" can better illustrate the problem.

So whether you should learn cucurbit flute or Bawu first, it depends on the person. If you have a high starting point and a little musical instrument foundation, you can choose the more difficult Bawu first, otherwise, choose cucurbit flute.
