Why are so few people learning Xiao?

Dong Xiao is a very small musical instrument. Because of the weak expressive force and high entry threshold, not many people know it, and even the students in the Conservatory of Music can play it well.

Dong Xiao is a rare musical instrument, and it is even more difficult to play it well. Three-year piano, five-year flute and an erhu bend over!

Dong Xiao's voice is very boundless, sad, lyrical and deep! Without that kind of sad mood, you can't blow that smell! Many people know the flute but don't know it, just as many people know the guzheng but don't know the guqin! Dong Xiao and Guqin belong to a more emotional driving force!

The sounding principle of the extended data flute is exactly the same as that of the flute, that is, the airflow (that is, the wind) ejected from the mouth reaches the mouthpiece of the flute, which is split by the sharp edge of the mouthpiece to produce a vortex and form a marginal sound with no stable pitch. After the edge sound resonates with the gas column in the tube, stable pitch can be obtained.

Because of the different excitation and sound production methods of Xiao and Di (the Di has a flute membrane, but the Di doesn't), not only the volume is very different, but also the timbre is very different. The timbre of the flute is thick, high, crisp and loud, while the timbre of the flute is weak, beautiful and elegant.

Because of the low volume, Dong Xiao is not as widely used as a flute, and manufacturers are not as particular about the production of Dong Xiao as a flute. So it is not easy to find a flute with pure timbre.
