Hulusi is an ethnic musical instrument in Yunnan. It has a strong local color. It is loved by many people and is loved by many people. There are many people who study it. Simple and easy to learn, small in size, and convenient to carry, but many people do not know how to choose?

1. Appearance

What can be seen by the naked eye is the appearance. Whether the shape is relatively round and regular, the sound of the cucurbit flute with complete specifications will be more full and round. If the shape is not good, it will affect the sound of the playing.

2. Material

We can choose the material of the main and attached pipes. Generally, the sound of purple bamboo will be better, and the sound of blowing is very mellow and will not be shriveled. There are also materials such as mahogany and red sandalwood.

3. Pitch

When it is produced, the tuning will be checked, but in the process of transportation, it will inevitably be bumped or the pitch will change due to other reasons, so it can be identified by the tuner when purchasing.

4. Tone

The sound of the cucurbit flute is the most important. When you try to play, the breath is from weak to strong, whether the timbre is soft and sensitive, there is no sandy sound, and the strength of the taste is a little hard. When you play with an appropriate strength, the contrast of the sound is small.

5. Breathable

When choosing the cucurbit silk, you need to pay attention to the air permeability. The plastic cucurbit silk is not breathable, and there will be water vapor when blowing.

6. Tone signature

Hulusi is generally a musical instrument with one tune, so when you need to play different tunes, you need to choose different tunes. There are five commonly used tones, notably minor B flat, minor C, minor D, and major. F key, major G key, generally at the beginning of learning, choose minor B, minor C, and then learn other keys later.

7. Price

Generally, the cucurbit silk of less than 100 does not need to be considered. The pitch and timbre of the cucurbit silk of more than 100 are still guaranteed. The material of more than 200 can be considered, and the intonation of more than 400 is relatively good. Of course Now, considering the material, there are still more expensive cucurbit silks.

8. Applicable occasions

Different people need different cucurbits, some are professional teaching, some are beginners, and some are professional performances, so the quality of cucurbits required is also different.
