The cucurbit flute, also known as "calabash flute", is a musical instrument of ethnic minorities in Yunnan. The cucurbit flute originated in Lianghe County, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture. The Lincang area is rich in local colors. It is often used to play folk tunes such as folk songs and agricultural songs.

Hulusi can be divided into three types: high, medium and low. Its timbre is unique and simple, its appearance is simple and delicate, and it is easy to learn. It is loved by many music lovers. The method of learning cucurbit silk for beginners is as follows:

1. The first thing to do is to prepare a cucurbit silk and the teaching materials for learning cucurbit silk.

As a beginner, you don't need to buy good cucurbit silk. You can go to the online store to buy natural cucurbit and purple bamboo, and you can buy a textbook of cucurbit silk and Bawu for teaching materials. Sometimes it is not the more expensive the better, and the one suitable for practice is the best.

2. Follow the cucurbit flute teaching videos recorded by online teachers to learn.

Hulusi is a relatively simple musical instrument. Learning through online teaching videos is enough for most of our amateurs, so there is no need to waste extra money to sign up for classes.

3. The use of breath Hulusi is a wind instrument.

Controlling the breath is the basic condition for playing cucurbit flute. Hulusi has a softer and lighter tone. If the breath is used too vigorously, it will cause the sound to explode, with noise and harshness.

4. Fingering practice One of the most commonly used fingerings for cucurbit flutes is the fingering of 5 in the drum tone.

The barrel tone is the sound produced when all the holes are pressed. In addition, there are also fingerings such as 1, 2, and 3. It is recommended that beginners learn the fingering of 5 first. Other fingerings are not commonly used.

In fact, no matter which instrument is played, the control of the power of performance is an art. It is a little softer, or a little more violent, depending on the characteristics of the instrument. The timbre of cucurbit silk is characterized by softness, and the blowing force is also relatively softer.
