To know the price of bamboo flute, we must first know how to choose bamboo flute. Generally, when choosing bamboo flute, the workmanship (roundness, caliber standard, material, weight, etc. ) should be determined first.
The vast majority of good flutes are the same bamboo (the grain of the spliced bamboo will be broken, which can be seen by careful observation), the head and tail are the same size, the flute body is round and thick (the thin flute is basically not a good flute), the pipe wall is thick and even without cracking, the flute has been waxed (the flute should be oiled but not waxed, and the flute body is reflective), and the pressing line is meticulous and without floating thorns. Secondly, the quality and color of bamboo heads are uniform, and the bamboo age is 3~5 years. In theory, the older the bamboo, the better. The whole flute has a sense of weight (a sense of security, it looks big, but it's definitely not Gao Fushuai who picks it up lightly).
After the work is determined, it can be divided into several levels: pitch level, timbre level and response level.
Sound level: Good flutes have been tested by professional Andhadhun, and flutes that can reach sound level should be above 150 yuan no matter how cheap they are (below 150 yuan, there will always be some pitch inaccuracies or other problems, for example, fiberglass flutes that were a little popular before, although their workmanship and intonation are standardized, but their timbre and response are not good).
Tone level: Flute is rich in sound, loud, vibrating and penetrating. Each tone can be high or low. For example, the bass of a flute flies away as soon as it is played loudly, and it can only be played very quietly, indicating that the timbre is not good. In addition, the timbre of different materials is also different. Generally speaking, the price of a flute with timbre level will not be lower than 300, and some flute with rare materials or good workmanship will be more expensive, such as purple bamboo flute, single bamboo flute and handmade flute. And the price is generally around 500. The flutes we buy are basically of this kind, and only those with poor pitch and timbre will affect our normal practice.
Reaction level: it is best not to eat music when playing fast. Some flutes don't respond to vibration. When the speed is above 140, you may eat some notes. For example, when I play an allegro Liang Zhu, I often eat notes in E key of more than 300 yuan. It doesn't matter if I practice normally, but the performance is not easy. Generally, we will adjust the pitch of each note from the high note 5 to the low note 5, and then use the faster note to test whether the flute can keep up with the reaction speed. To reach this level, we call it a performance-level flute to meet the needs of difficult performances. The price of this kind of flute is generally 1000, which will be more expensive according to the rarity of the material. Some ebony flutes cost five or six thousand (although I charge)
