The biggest difference between the new flute and the traditional China flute is that five holes are added in addition to the original six holes, while compared with the eight-hole flute (with right-hand pinkie hole and left-hand pinkie hole), three holes are added, including right-hand pinkie hole and left-hand pinkie hole, and the left index finger must manage both holes at the same time. The purpose of adding holes is to try to solve the shortcoming that the semitone pitch of traditional flutes and flutes is difficult to control, which leads to inconvenient tuning. With the design of eleven holes, any semitone in octave can be completely blown out. Because of different tonality, the purpose of tuning can be achieved by pinching the holes with different fingers, which saves the situation that traditional flute tuning often needs to change instruments. ?
Another main difference between the new flute and the traditional flute is that the flute membrane is removed, so the timbre of the new flute is not as bright as that of the bang flute, but a warmer timbre between Xiao and the western flute. ?
Except for two differences from traditional flutes, the length and range of the new flute are the same as those of the big flute in G key, and the range is also the same as that of the most commonly used flute in G key. Commonly used range from bass D to treble E, totaling 18 degrees. Occasionally use high-pitched FG, but the timbre is not good.
