Hulusi B 葫蘆絲 B

 

Code : TT 96

Introduction :

Hulusi or Cucurbit Flute is a folk musical instrument in Yunnan Province, China. It is a free reed wind instrument, held vertically and has three bamboo pipes which pass through a gourd wind chest; the center pipe has finger holes and the outer two are typically drone pipes. It is not uncommon for a hulusi to have only one drone pipe while the second outer pipe is merely ornamental. The drone pipe has a finger hole, which allows it to be stopped. If closing one side tube (drone pipe) and blow, Western musical scale can be played. Advanced configurations have keyed finger holes similar to a clarinet or oboe, which can greatly extend the range of the hulusi to several octaves.

The hulusi was originally used primarily in Yunnan province by the Miao, Dai and other non-Han ethnic groups but is now played throughout China. Like the related free reed pipe called bawu, the hulusi has a very pure, clarinet-like sound.

Although the hulusi is still predominantly performed in China, it has in recent years been adopted by European composers and performers.

簡介：

葫蘆絲是中國雲南省的民俗樂器。它是垂直吹奏的管樂器，並有三枝竹管穿過葫蘆;中心的那枝管有指孔，而兩邊的是和弦的管道。只有一枝和弦管道的葫蘆絲，並非罕見，而第二枝外管道只是裝飾用。和弦管道有一個指孔，能使管道被封。兩側的管道，如封閉其一吹奏，可以奏出西洋音樂的音階。有高級配置調音指孔（類似單簧管或雙簧管）的葫蘆絲，可大大擴展幾個八度的音域。

葫蘆絲最初主要是雲南省苗族、傣族和其他非漢族族群吹奏，但現在中國各地也相當普遍。類似管樂器巴烏 (bawu)，葫蘆絲的聲音非常純淨，如單簧管的聲音。

雖然葫蘆絲仍然主要在中國盛行，但近年來它亦被歐洲的作曲家和演奏家所採用。
