The sound quality of the two musical instruments, gourd silk and baowu, sandalwood and mahogany, or

The sound quality of bamboo is better.

To carry out the selection of cucurbit silk and Bau, we must first understand the types and distribution of bamboo, in the bamboo grown in China, we use to make cucurbit silk and Bau bamboo materials mainly include, purple bamboo, bitter bamboo, phoenix tail bamboo and so on. Most of these bamboos grow in China, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Yunnan these provinces are slightly more, in the process and practice of our production to realize, these bamboo growth geology is more complex, mostly foggy in spring, rain in summer, dry climate in autumn, colder in winter, in this climate changeable tempering, it makes the bamboo texture in these places hard, good density, the ability to adapt to climate change is quite strong. There is also the terrain where these bamboos grow, most of them are on shady slopes, the terrain drainage conditions are good, and the soil is fertile, so the bamboo grown is relatively robust.

Selection of bamboo: one is to pay attention to the period of cutting bamboo, the second is to choose in the production of different tones, and the third is to select materials when you need to make high-quality gourd silk and bawu. After such repeated selection, there is a saying that in the market to choose a good tone of gourd silk and bau, the first thing to look at is the quality of the material.

The cutting period of bamboo is generally selected in the wax month of the lunar calendar every year as the best cutting period, because at this time the bamboo has less water content, not easy to be eaten by insects, and at the same time in the cutting of bamboo, it is necessary to pay attention to some other aspects, such as: to identify the age of bamboo, generally three to four years of such bamboo is better, in addition to see whether the shape of the bamboo is round, the thickness of the whole bamboo should be uniform, it looks like the bamboo is old and smooth, the bamboo is yellow and hard, so that the bamboo is more ideal, in the production of musical instruments, The parts of each bamboo are also selective, with the hardness of the bamboo, and the size of the inner diameter of the two ends of the bamboo should be uniform.

First, the thickness of the pipe wall is uniform, take the bamboo of purple bamboo, generally from the root of the bamboo to the tip of the bamboo direction of the fourth to sixth section is better, because this part of it in addition to the bamboo green and old and smooth, hard, it is the whole bamboo fiber tissue often moves place, so it is the best choice for making gourd silk, Bau timbre. The freshly cut bamboo should not be used immediately to make gourd silk and bao, and it should be stored in a place where the rain does not shine, the sun does not shine, the storage place can not be humid, and the ventilation conditions are better, and the bamboo can be made only after it is dry. The storage time should be at least half a year, so it is better, of course, the longer the better, the storage period is best to be turned over once every three to four months, in case the bamboo is stored for too long mold, moth-eaten.
