An Introduction to the Bawu:
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
The
bawu
(simplified:
巴乌
; traditional:
巴烏
;
pinyin
: bāwū; also
ba wu
) is a
Chinese
wind
instrument
. Although shaped like a
flute
, it is actually a
free reed
instrument, with a single 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.
Although the
bawu
likely 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. 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 many composers and performer around world.
