Chinese Musical Instrument——葫(hú)芦(lu)丝(sī)
Hulusi or cucurbit flute is a free reed wind instrument from Southwestern China. It is 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.
The Hulusi originally came from the Dai-zu or Dai (Thai) minority of southern China, but can now be found played by a number of the surrounding minority peoples including the Jin Po and the Wa.
The sound of the Hulusi is hauntingly beautiful, but fairly soft, and as a result is seldom played in ensembles. The Dai men would play it to express their love to women, while other minorities often played the Hulusi in the fields when taking a break from planting or harvesting.
Clint shown us some Chinese musical instruments——Hulusi, Bawu and Erhu, and then played for us who were very interested about those instruments.
Clint was teaching us how to play Hulusi.
Robert was looking for the different holes to put his fingers on.
Marc seemed a fisherman with a hat, and he concentrated on playing Hulusi.
After learned Hulusi, Robert could not wait to have a try with Erhu.
It was not only a culture lesson, but also a Chinese fork musical instruments concert.
