Chinese Xun Ocarina
What is a Xun?
A Chinese Xun is a type of ancient wind instrument. It is a vessel flute, which means it is made from pottery. It has a pear-shaped body with a small mouthpiece and multiple finger holes that are used to play different notes.
The Chinese Xun has been played in China for thousands of years and is considered one of the oldest known musical instruments in the world. It's also a popular collector instrument due to its unique design and intricate craftsmanship.
There are two types of Xun. The traditional Xun has a very short mouthpiece in which you must blow air at a certain angle to produce a sound. It has the same playing technique as a Chinese Xiao, requiring hours of practice before making a decent sound. Here is a fascinating video on how Xun is made, the Xun in the video is the traditional type.
Another type is the one we have - an Ocarina Xun. It has the same shape as the traditional Xun but with a slightly longer mouthpiece. This modification makes it much easier to play and beginner friendly. You can play the Ocarina Xun the same way as an ocarina. Here is a beautiful video of Ocarina Xun.
Unique sound
Compared to the 12-hole ocarina, The sound produced by the Xun is warm, smooth, and soothing. It has a low-pitched, breathy sound that is soft and gentle, but it can also create a powerful and resonant sound when played at higher volumes.
The Xun's sound is also very expressive and emotive, conveying a wide range of emotions and feelings. Moreover, the dynamic range of the Xun is also quite broad, and it can produce soft and subtle notes as well as louder, more pronounced notes.
Overall, the Chinese ocarina xun is a versatile and beautiful instrument that is perfect for anyone looking to explore traditional Chinese music or add a unique and beautiful instrument to their collection. It's lightweight, portable, and easy to carry around, making it perfect for travelling or playing on the go.
