Konoha is the simplest and oldest musical instrument.

When playing Konoha, first wipe off the dust adhering to the blade, stick the front of the blade horizontally to the lips, slightly spread the index finger and middle finger of the right hand (or left hand), gently stick to the back of the blade, and hold the thumb in the opposite direction. Hold the lower edge of the blade so that the upper edge of the blade held by the index and middle fingers is slightly higher than the lower lip. Use proper airflow to blow the edge of the blade to make the blade vibrate and sound.

Konoha is a reed, the mouth is like a resonance box, and the hands can also help to resonate. Through various techniques such as mouth strength, mouth shape, tongue tip control, fingers tightening or loosening the blade, the vibration frequency of the blade can be changed, and the high and low can be played. , The sound of different strengths, the sound range reaches 11 or 2 degrees. If you want to make it sound different, you need to use different playing methods, usually pressing the lower half of the leaf, blowing the upper half of the leaf with air, and pressing the leaf with one hand and tapping gently with the other hand, like playing a harmonica. , the sound produced not only resonates, but also produces wave sound; and the more advanced technique is to hold the blade between the lips, and it can be played without holding it by hand. There are other airflows, and they can play beautiful and beautiful melody; the player with particularly superb skills is even more impressive, and can play two leaves at the same time without the help of fingers, and can also play moving tunes. When Konoha plays high and low pitches, he needs to use different air volumes, and his lips are also loosened and tightened to control the air flow. Blowing Konoha can't stop breathing or sound at will, especially pay attention to the melody is smooth and melodious.

The timbre of Konoha is similar to that of a small suona. It is crisp and bright, pleasant to the ear, and similar to the human voice. As the saying goes: "Silk is not as good as bamboo, bamboo is not as good as meat", but this small leaf is comparable to the human voice, just like a human voice. The sound is the same as singing, and it has the flavor of the mountain country. It can be played solo, in ensemble or as accompaniment for singing and dancing. It has very rich expressiveness. In Hunan and other places, Konoha is also used to accompany operas. Among the Bai and Dai people, Konoha is also used in Bai and Dai opera music.
