In the early 1980s, when the Tibetan Song and Dance Troupe was going to perform abroad, the wind musician Tashi needed an ancient Tibetan wind instrument to play Tibetan-style music.

Xionglin's reform

They borrowed the collection of Xionglin from the Potala Palace, but the sound was not in harmony with the national band, so they came to Beijing to find the wind music producer Wu Zhongfu. After the audition, I feel that the main problem is the hole spacing. The original perforation was an average hole, which was only suitable for folk use to play folk music; Master Wu changed it to the twelve average temperament to meet the needs of the Tibetan Song and Dance Troupe.

Xionglin has been developed into three modes of C, D and E. The length of the tube is 39 cm to 46 cm, the diameter of the upper tube is 2.7 cm to 2.8 cm, and the diameter of the lower tube is 1.4 cm to 1.5 cm. The reformed appearance maintains the original national style. , There are Tibetan-style pattern decorations engraved under the square pronunciation hole, and two pure gold rings are embedded above the tube tail, which makes the ancient wind instrument have a modern atmosphere.
