For those who are new to cucurbits, the first question they encounter is "how do I choose cucurbits and what kind of cucurbits?" Today, I would like to talk with you about how to choose cucurbits.

1. Different materials of cucurbit silk

First, cucurbit silk is divided into different materials, including bamboo, plastic, ebony and mahogany.

Bamboo pipes and gourds are the most common materials used to make cucurbit silk, which are all made of original ecological natural materials.

Ebony and other materials will have a higher appearance in appearance, have a certain decorative effect, and have slightly better fall resistance.

Do not choose plastic cucurbit silk for study. First, because the plastic cucurbit is airtight, the water vapor exhaled when playing is easy to condense into water droplets and breed bacteria; second, its own sound quality is poor.

With the increasing number of cucurbit flute learners, the timbre, sound quality and craftsmanship produced are very mature, and a cucurbit flute of about 200 yuan can basically be used for learning.

2. Which tune is the best for cucurbit silk?

The tune of cucurbit flute is divided into three types: including low, medium and high tone, and each type can produce different levels of tunes.

The bass includes: Big D, Big G, Big E, and Big F.

Middle tones include: A key and B flat.

Treble includes: minor C, minor D, minor F.

For beginners, you can only consider the minor C in the treble or the B-flat in the middle to study. For adults, it is recommended to choose the B-flat directly, because although the C-key cucurbit has a loud sound, the distance between the upper hole of the supervisor and the hole is very large. Small, it is not suitable for adults with relatively large finger distances, but children can give priority to C tune. The sound of C tune is loud and crisp. The famous song like Phoenix Tail Bamboo under the Moonlight is played by C tune Hulusi.

3. How to choose cucurbit silk correctly for novices

From the point of view of workmanship, check whether the bond between the gourd and the bamboo pipe is beautiful and firm. There should be an appropriate amount of glue, too much glue at the bonding place for rough cucurbit silk will affect the appearance. Sometimes there is too little glue and it is easy to leak.

Choose the practical cucurbit silk, beginners should choose the professional type, the traditional rubber stopper is convenient and simple. Sliding cucurbit plugs are also available.

It is not advisable to choose the cucurbit silk made of sprayed paint, brushed gold powder, plastic and imitation jade, because the air permeability is not good, and the gourd is prone to mold, which will accelerate the oxidation of the reed and shorten the life of the cucurbit silk. It is also easy to breed bacteria.

4. Choose a piano shop with guarantee and complete after-sales service

The cucurbit flute is a relatively delicate musical instrument. In playing, problems can easily occur due to improper protection or incorrect playing method, and beginners cannot solve it because they do not know much about the instrument itself or do not understand it well. Therefore, when purchasing, you must choose a professional and friendly piano shop for purchase, and you need to have a good after-sales guarantee.

Good cucurbit flutes are selected and must be tested repeatedly. When we, as novice, cannot make a good choice of musical instruments, we can ask professional and reliable teachers to assist in the recommendation and selection.
