Hulusi is a wind instrument of ethnic minorities in China. It is one of the most commonly used instruments of ethnic minorities such as the Dai, Achang and Wa living in southwestern China.

When the cucurbit flute is playing, the ring finger, middle finger and index finger of the right hand use the first finger pad to open and close the first, second and third sound holes respectively, and the thumb is dragged under the main pipe. The ring finger, middle finger, and index finger of the left hand open and close the fourth, fifth, and sixth sound holes with the first finger pad respectively, and the thumb opens the seventh sound hole located in front of the main pipe.

Take a deep breath and inhale as much air as possible. After inhalation, the breath sinks, so that the air flow is exhaled evenly and evenly under controlled conditions. The breath should be stable and not strong or weak suddenly. In playing, use the slow blowing method for high notes and the fast blowing method for low notes. The little fingers attached to the left and right sides of the sound tube cannot be fixed and should be flexibly controlled according to the situation during performance.

Many friends are very curious about how to blow Hulusi bass 3. Close all the sound holes and the sound produced by the slowest airflow is the bass 3. The airflow must be slow, it doesn't feel forceful, just send the air out gently. When the bass 3 is used as the beginning, you can't use the spit, only the strum.

When pressing each sound hole, you must press the sound hole with the first finger belly of the specified finger, so as not to leak air, otherwise it will affect the pitch and timbre. When playing the cucurbit flute, the arms and wrists should be relaxed, and the fingers should be bent inward moderately. When opening the sound hole, the fingers should not be raised too high, which will affect the speed and flexibility of playing, but not too low, which will affect the intonation and volume.
