Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of Dong flute technology, specifically relating to a reed and its Dong flute. Background Technology

[0002] The Dong flute is a unique aerophone played by the Dong ethnic group. In the Dong language, it is called Jiege or Jigesi. It is also known as Gedi or Caodi.

[0003] The existing Dong flute reeds are made by carving the inner wall of bamboo, and the surface of the reed is flat. The material has problems such as low hardness, light weight and thinness, which makes the reed not sensitive to airflow when the user blows. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a reed and its Dong flute to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A reed has a groove on it; the groove transitions from deep to shallow from one end of the reed to the other end; the groove is symmetrical about the centerline of the reed.

[0007] Furthermore, the groove includes: an upper groove disposed on the upper side of the spring; and a lower groove disposed on the lower side of the spring opposite to the upper groove; the upper groove and the lower groove have the same dimensions.

[0008] Furthermore, the length of the groove is 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 times the length of the reed edge that faces the same direction as the groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the reed has a wedge-shaped structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the groove extends from the thicker end of the wedge-shaped spring to the thinner end; the groove is located on the longer side of the spring.

[0011] Furthermore, the reed is made from the part of the bamboo pole near the epidermis.

[0012] Furthermore, the length of the reed is 1.0-2.5cm and the width is 0.3-0.8cm.

[0013] A Dong flute includes a flute body, one end of which is provided with a mouthpiece, and the other end of the mouthpiece is provided with an air inlet channel. The reed prepared in this invention is installed in the air inlet channel and fixed. The starting end of the groove is located on the side close to the mouthpiece.

[0014] Furthermore, the reed portion covers the whistle hole provided on the air intake channel.

[0015] Furthermore, the flute body is made from bitter bamboo or purple bamboo that has grown for at least 3 years and then dried in the shade; the flute body has 6 spaced tone holes, and the distance between each adjacent tone hole is not all equal.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This new type of reed has an upper groove and a lower groove respectively set in the middle of both sides of the reed, so that an inclined arc is formed on both sides of the reed. The end of the reed at the air inlet becomes thinner, and the upper groove and the lower groove will form two air columns when blowing air, making the Dong flute more sensitive to sound, easier to reach high notes, and with stable tone.

[0018] 2. The reeds used in existing Dong flutes are flat and are made from the inner wall of bamboo. However, the bamboo material in this area has a low density, making it difficult to divert airflow when blowing, resulting in insensitive sound and a scattered and unfocused tone. In contrast, the reed in this application is made from the material near the surface of the bamboo stalk, which has a higher density and is harder. When blowing, it can directly divert airflow, resulting in a more sensitive sound. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To facilitate a better understanding of this utility model, the following examples are provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These examples fall within the protection scope of this utility model, but do not limit the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] A type of reed, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the reed 1 has a groove 11; the groove 11 transitions from deep to shallow from one end of the reed 1 to the other end; the groove 11 is symmetrical about the center line of the reed 1.

[0032] The reed is an important component of the flute that produces sound. Grooves are designed into the reed, with the grooves sloping from deep to shallow, which helps to create an air column when air is blown, thus improving the sensitivity of the sound.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the groove 11 includes: an upper groove 12, disposed on the upper side of the spring 1; and a lower groove 13 disposed on the lower side of the spring 1 opposite to the upper groove 12; the upper groove 12 and the lower groove 13 have the same size.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the length of the groove 11 is 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 times the length of the side of the spring 1 that faces the same direction as the groove 11.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, reed 1 has a wedge-shaped structure.

[0037] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the groove 11 extends from the thick end of the wedge-shaped spring 1 to the thin end; the groove 11 is located on the longer side of the spring 1.

[0038] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the reed 1 is made from the part of the bamboo pole near the surface.

[0039] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the length of reed 1 is 1.0-2.5cm and the width is 0.3-0.8cm.

[0040] When installing the reed, the flute body on one side of the mouthpiece is cut or slit (for easy cleaning), and then thinned to become a bamboo strip 25 with a mouthpiece. The reed is then installed and fixed to the bottom of the mouthpiece with bamboo strips or thin rope. Thin bamboo strips are placed at the cut, and the bamboo strip is placed on top of the thin bamboo strip. The bamboo strip is then tied tightly to the flute body with bamboo strips or thin rope. The reed is wedge-shaped, with one end larger than the other. The larger end is close to the mouthpiece of the Dong flute, while the smaller end helps to fit the bamboo strip, providing better sealing when tied tightly.

[0041] The existing reed has flat surfaces on both sides, making it difficult to divert airflow when blowing. The grooves of this invention are divided into upper and lower grooves, which are located on the upper and lower sides of the reed, respectively. The function of the grooves is that they can form inclined arc-shaped grooves on both sides of the reed, making one end of the reed's air inlet thinner. When air is blown into the air inlet channel, the upper and lower grooves on both sides of the reed will form two air columns, making the sound more sensitive, easier to reach high notes, and with a stable tone.

[0042] The existing reeds for Dong flutes are made from the inner wall of bamboo. However, the bamboo in this region has a low density, is light and soft, and makes it difficult to disperse the airflow when blowing, resulting in insensitive sound and a scattered and unfocused tone. Moreover, because the reeds are thin, they are easily damaged during use and are not durable.

[0043] The reed in this application is made from the material of the bamboo near the outer skin, which is obtained by peeling off the outer skin. It has a higher density and is harder, with better elasticity. When blowing, it can directly divert the airflow, making the sound more sensitive and more durable.

[0044] The dimensions of the reed can be adjusted according to the needs of the flute.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] A type of Dong flute, such as Figures 4-8 As shown, the flute includes a body 2, with a mouthpiece at one end and an air inlet channel 21 at the other end of the mouthpiece. The reed 1 prepared in this invention is installed in the air inlet channel 21 and fixed. The starting end of the groove 11 is located on the side close to the mouthpiece 22.

[0047] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the reed 1 partially covers the whistle hole 23 provided on the air intake channel 21.

[0048] The bamboo used for the flute body should have long and evenly spaced nodes. After being cut to the appropriate length, it should be air-dried or steam-dried. A sloping mouthpiece should be made at the thicker end. A whistle hole should be carved above the mouthpiece, which is usually rectangular. The bamboo tube wall on one side of the whistle hole should be split and trimmed to form a rectangular groove about 0.15cm deep and 0.8cm wide.

[0049] Take the bamboo strip 25 with the whistle hole removed, and install a reed at the bottom of the whistle hole. The reed partially covers the whistle hole and can act as a gas valve. The width of the reed can be slightly larger than the width of the whistle hole so that the reed presses against the whistle hole. Then use bamboo strips or other wires to firmly fix the reed to the whistle hole. Ensure that the reed is installed in an accurate position and is not too tight or too loose, so as not to affect the sound.

[0050] Thin bamboo strips can be placed on both sides of the groove, and the bamboo strip with the reed fixed on it can be placed on the thin bamboo strip. Then, bamboo strips or thin thread can be used to tightly wrap the bamboo strip to fix it to the flute body. When installing the bamboo strip, make sure that the end of the reed with the groove is close to the mouthpiece. In this way, the flute body, thin bamboo strip, and bamboo strip form a long and narrow air intake channel.

[0051] The reed is fixed at the bottom of the mouthpiece, and the bamboo strip is fixed to the body of the flute; both are existing technologies.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the flute body 2 is made of yellow bitter bamboo or purple bamboo that has grown for at least 3 years and then dried in the shade or by steaming; the flute body 2 has 6 spaced tone holes 24, and the distance between each adjacent tone hole 24 is not all equal.

[0054] The spacing between adjacent tone holes can be adjusted according to the required pitch, range, etc.

[0055] The flute body has two spaced front sound holes at the tail end (the end away from the mouthpiece), and the flute body has rear sound holes on both sides below the front sound holes.

[0056] The centers of each tone hole and the front tone hole are located on the extension of the center line of the whistle hole along the length of the flute body.

[0057] The features and components not described above that are necessary for the normal use of the Dong flute are not innovative points of this application and are all existing technologies. Their installation, connection and use are all done in existing ways and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
