樹葉笛吹奏法How to play leaflute (musical leaf)

Since so many visiters ask the instruction of leaf playing.
In my poor English I try to do it as possible as I could.
I hope the graphics would help understanding.

leafflute, i tried soo hard to do it right, but i cant get a sound. even with a candy wrapper it doesnt work for me. i realy want to learn the old art of the leafwhistle.

can you help me please?

[leaflute]

@darknesswolf222 Try to understand what I said on this clip. Practicing is the secret.

Do you have chance to come to Taiwan? Then I can tell you face to face.

it sounds really high pitched so far. does plastic always sound like that in comparison to leaves?

[leaflute]

@WickedTatsu Yes you are right, candy wrapper got higher pitch. Try any thin material to find a control-easier and sound-better one.

So I was able to make one noise but now I can't even make a noise and It's been a day since then. Did it take you a long time to learn how to make a sound? because I feel like a total loser since I've only been able to make one noise.

Woow that is a great talent sir thanks for putting a video that can teach us how to do it :D

[darknesswolf222]

@leaflute thanks, i will pratice a lot, and i will watch the clip more times to understand.

but no, i have no chance to go to taiwan. but thanks a lot.

@leaflute ありがとうございます。 I'll try different materials and see what kinds of sound I get. I'll keep practicing. こつこつ。

i'd been wanting to learn this for quite a while. i'm trying with a candy wrapper since all the leaves have fallen off the trees. so cutting it oval helps? i tried a few times once with cherry-plum leaves, but noticed the edge isn't smooth and gave up. most of my other trees have stiff leaves, so i didn't try them. thanks for this tutorial, it really helps.

@onimusha717 Keep the air to your lip point, avoid side leak. Side leak got fart sound.
