Features of Double-pipe Bau

The shape of the double-pipe Bau looks like two Bau bundles, and there are two supervisors, so it is called the double-pipe Bau in the image. From the point of view of the sound range and playing method of a single supervisor, it is also the same as the traditional Bau. The innovation lies in the different fingering used on the two supervisors, which expands the Bau's vocal range by 3 tones.

According to the different tuning of the Ba'u's tone, the sound range of the double-pipe Ba'u can be from bass 5 to treble 2, bass 2 to treble 6, bass 1 to treble 5, which results in three common fingerings. 80% of the songs can be played with the double-pipe Bawu, and several fingerings mentioned in the traditional cucurbit flute textbook can also be fully used on the Bawu. Therefore, in addition to expanding the playing range, the double-pipe Bau also deepens Bau's playing skills.
