Bawu or Ba-Hu, key of G, low note D (CHI090GD) HD

http://larkinthemorning.com/

Traditional Chinese reedpipe; lowest note D, note with 3 holes open G, 24.5" long; combines the tube and fingerholes of the flute with the free reed of the sheng for a unique tone color.
Made of bamboo, 7 hole on top with a thumb hole on the side,one octave plus one note, In 5ths from G- Key of D has a white plastic lip plate to blow, more pressure for the low notes and gentle pressure for the higher ones.The reed is inside a small lip plate but it's not like a bagpipe reed but rather more like a harmonica reed. The bawu looks like a transverse flute when played, but sounds quite different and was featured on the soundtrack to "Croughin Tiger Hidden Dragon".

@DBB90 Right, "very unique", which means... ummm... even more one of a kind than one of a kind? More singular than one means... what?

try keeping your cheeks tight rather than puffed out it.

The bawu is a reeded pipe, and the tone is very unique. It was featured in "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon".
