What is a bamboo flute?
flutes are one of the simplest musical instruments that can be made. They consist of a base tube with finger holes, sound holes and mouthpiece and air vibrations through the mouthpiece or reeds produces sound. Most of them are made of metal or wood. The Japanese bamboo flute, also known as Shakuhachi , is the flute of the end slack used to produce different tones and plays similarly to blowing at the end of an open bottle. The Shakuhachi structure allows flexible tones to be flexible, unlike specific playgrounds used by recorders or similar flutes. His name, Shakuhachi, comes from a medieval Japanese equivalent measurement. It has four fingertips at the top and one on the bottom. The standard Shakuhachi has a basic remark tuned to D just above medium C, with four other notes such as F, G, A and C. The player keeps the flute with both hands and covers the Windex finger holes and fingers. Different patterns of fingers such as covering one third of the hole, half or two thirdsY holes, they can change the sound.
variation of the pitch on the bamboo flute consists of more than just the location of the fingers; The player must also tilt his head up and down to change the air flow angle. The decrease in the playground is called meria and the lifting is called curry. A change in air flow changes the octave in which Shakuhachi plays. It has a number of two octaves and half of the third octave; These are known as otsu , kan and dai-kan.
Bamboo flute must be made manually to create a quality sound, because each flute comes from the live stem of the bamboo and no two pieces of bamboo grow as well. Shakuhachi must also be tailor -made for its users. Longer have their finger holes spaced wide and have a lower pitch. Shakuhachi has three main styles of the game. These are Honkyoku, solo; Sankyoku, traditional file with Shamisen , stringed tool and Koto , wood; and shinkyoku , Western influencing the file. The bamboo flute, thanks to its sound versatility, often contains in orchestral film soundtracks.
