Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of musical instruments, and particularly relates to an easy-to-learn xiao (a vertical bamboo flute). Background Art

[0002] The xiao and the di are ancient Chinese bamboo wind instruments. Since both the xiao and the di are open-blowing instruments, it is not easy for beginners to master them. There is a saying among the people that "it takes three years to learn the di and five years to learn the xiao". As we all know, among wind instruments, closed-blowing instruments such as bawu and hulusi are easy to learn, while open-blowing instruments such as xiao and di are not. In the existing xiao, a singing opening is made at the bamboo joint, which is connected to the internal space of the bamboo xiao. Its disadvantage is that the player must direct the airflow at the singing opening to sound it, and beginners must undergo long-term training to produce the best timbre. It is difficult to sound even without training. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an easy-to-learn xiao that is simple to learn, can be sounded by everyone, has a beautiful timbre, and a wide range of pitches.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows: An easy-to-learn xiao includes a bamboo xiao or a wooden xiao. A bamboo joint plug is retained at one end of the bamboo xiao, a singing opening is dug near the bamboo joint, the bamboo joint at the other end of the bamboo xiao is opened, six finger holes are dug on the bamboo body, and a blowing opening is made on the bamboo joint surface at the singing opening end. The blowing opening is continuously dug on the bamboo wall until it is connected to the singing opening, and a blowing channel is formed through the bamboo wall to connect to the singing opening.

[0005] Further, the width of the bamboo joint opening is the same as the diameter of the singing opening.

[0006] Because the easy-to-learn xiao of the utility model digs a channel from the bamboo joint to the bamboo wall to make the airflow directly face the singing opening, the player only needs to blow along the channel to directly face the singing opening to sound, and it is very easy to sound without having to adjust the mouth shape and direction. The timbre is more distinctive, especially easier for beginners to learn, so as to achieve the purpose of wider promotion. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0007] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of the easy-to-learn xiao of the utility model.

[0011] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model more clear and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0012] Embodiment: As Figures 1-3 shown, an easy-to-learn xiao flute includes a bamboo xiao (or wooden xiao) 1. A bamboo node plug is retained at one end of the bamboo xiao 1, and a singing mouth 2 is dug near the bamboo node. The bamboo node at the other end of the bamboo xiao 1 is opened, and there are six finger holes 6 near the end where the bamboo node is opened. A blowing mouth 3 is opened on the bamboo node surface at the end of the singing mouth 2, and the blowing mouth is continuously dug on the bamboo wall until it communicates with the singing mouth 2, and a blowing channel 4 is formed through the bamboo wall and communicated with the singing mouth 2.

[0013] Preferably, the width of the bamboo node mouth 3 is the same as the diameter of the singing mouth 2.

[0014] The blowing channel dug to align with the singing mouth can make it easier for beginners to sound and play well. Adjusting the shape of the blowing channel aligned with the singing mouth can accurately achieve the best tone quality. The six finger holes are the holes for controlling the pitch. The distance from each finger hole to the singing mouth is different for different keys, and it can be dug according to the dimensions of the traditional xiao (prior art). For example, for the D key, the distances from the six holes to the singing mouth are 14.6 Cm, 17 Cm, 20 Cm, 23.3 Cm, 25.2 Cm, and 28.4 Cm respectively, and each key of other keys is the same as that of the xiao of the same key.

[0015] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model and are not intended to limit them; those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present utility model.
