Designed for professional players, it offers a rich tone range in Key F and comes with a removable tube for easy maintenance and transport, all packaged in a protective hard case. ## Description The bawu (also ba wu) is a Chinese traditional wind instrument. Although shaped like a flute, it is actually a free reed instrument, with a single brass metal reed. It is played in a transverse (horizontal) manner. It has a pure, clarinet-like timbre and its playing technique incorporates the use of much ornamentation, particularly bending tones. The bawu made of a wood tube at one end. Near the closed end, a small square hole is cut and a thin reed of copper is fastened, with a low plastic mouthpiece around it. This reed is essentially a very thin sheet of metal with a long and narrow isosceles triangle cut into it, which is bent slightly outwards at rest. The lowest part of the bawu range is very rich in upper harmonics, the lowest of which have amplitudes almost equivalent to that of the fundamental frequency. The bawu originated in the Yunnan province of southwest China, it has become a standard instrument throughout China, used in modern Chinese compositions for traditional instrument ensembles. The instrument is also closely associated other minority cultures in southwestern China. It is typically used as a solo instrument, and is often featured in film scores; it is sometimes also heard in popular music recordings. Although the bawu is still predominantly performed in China, it has in recent years been adopted by European composers and performers. Rohan Leach from England, Raphael De Cock from Belgium, Seán Mac Erlaine from Ireland and Herman Witkam from the Netherlands have all taken the instrument in new directions. The musician Guo Yue, who now resides in England, has long promoted the instrument and plays it on all of his recordings. ## Features - About this item BaWu (also Ba Wu) - A kind of Chinese Dai folk traditional wood wind flute music instrument.

Is is pretty, well-made, and plays in pitch. I've noticed some reviewers have mentioned that the key is off. This seems to be keyed like my Chinese dizi flutes, that is, the noted key is played when the first three holes are covered (the letter F is carved next to the third hole). That means that, with all holes covered, you should be playing C. That is normal with Chinese flutes in general.I had a bit of trouble getting any sound, until I turned the mouth opening 90 deg so it was facing me directly. You have to open your mouth as if taking a small bite, cover the hole, and blow fairly hard. Not as hard as for a sax or clarinet (which also requires specific embouchure), but certainly harder than for a regular flute or recorder. It's loud!I think I will see if I can get one keyed in G as well. I also want to figure out if I can play into the second octave. I think the nicer bawu flutes can, but idk about this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique instrument *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2019* Not what I was expecting, but not disappointed either. It has a one octave range. After practicing with it for a few weeks, it's easier to play. I couldn't find much information on it online, but typical musical instrument logic will tell you how to play it. "Longer the tubing, the lower the sound." =) It's fun to goof around with, that's for sure. I've had a hard time connecting the top to the bottom, but I'm thinking slide grease will help with that. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great deal for the price. Good intonation. *by Z***G on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2017* Arrived at the earliest estimated date. The seller was quick to respond to all of my emails (and there were many of them).This bawu is of high quality, and I don't think you can actually get something similar for this price. The head joint features a slide-on wooden cap that allows you to expose the brass reed for easy replacement, something that is very rare in a market flooded by cheap bawus (which usually have a glued-on mouthpiece instead, making it nearly impossible to change the reed). If I am not mistaken, the dizi virtuoso and composer of the famous bawu solo "Festival Dance" （《节日舞曲》）, Lu Chunling （陆春龄）, used a bawu that also had this same mechanism.Compared to my $25 purple bamboo bawu, the instrument is orders of magnitude more in tune, and the reed is much more responsive to air pressure. This allows the instrument to both be played at lower dynamics more reliably, as well as allow articulation to be heard much more clearly, which was a big issue with my purple bamboo bawu. The timbre is slightly brighter than that of my purple bamboo bawu.Be aware that the seller will send a G bawu by default, I believe, unless you notify them right after you order the item that you want it in a different key. I received my F bawu without any problems after I sent the seller a message requesting it.If this seller had an option for bamboo bawus, I would prefer that due to environmental reasons; rosewood really isn't necessary for a bawu, and it's quickly becoming more and more endangered due to over-harvesting. Also, I think bamboo just looks better. :PFinal note: my bawu arrived with clear acrylic end pieces. I don't care about that, but if you do, I would ask the seller about that.TL;DR: Probably the best deal for your money at this price point.
