Not every root can be made of bamboo flute
Was a child, one summer, my family came to a carpenter, good Chuixiao played flute and a half months in my home, did their homework. He taught me to play the flute, but could not bear to give me his flute, he said it was their loved ones left behind.
Frustration, I went to the mountains cut down a bamboo, asking him to give me a flute. His wry smile: "It's not every root can be made of bamboo flute." I think he lied to me. Flanagan bamboo suitable thickness, thickness uniformity, bamboo is not obvious, smooth texture that I pick and choose only phase, and on what basis it can not do a flute? I looked at his hands the flute, there is no strange. He must be - not to the child's words as words.
One day, I met a walk in the street of the village Kushido who sell flutes. His bag inside containing a lot of flute, with his body shaking, gently touch each other to issue specific to the sound of bamboo. Perhaps the flute itself gloss attracted me, and maybe he walked the street blowing the vicissitudes of temperament attracted artists like me, may be thought of so many years and until now was not touched the flute, do not know will not be playing, let him give I picked one.
Neighbor is a retired music teacher, I appreciate him holding a flute. Read carefully the elderly, the actually say that this is a little use of the flute, so that children can be playing when the toys. "It is the flute so much better to say that it is a drilled hole bamboo, he said," It's not every root can be made of bamboo flute. "If the elderly, then a carpenter with the same year, which in the end, what untold stories behind it?
I took the Zhezhi flute, taking a closer look, and always do not see what was wrong. Old explained that this is the use of bamboo that year, and can not stand playing. I am even more confused: the year of bamboo, how it? Is it put the old, and come back to do? What things are not always fresh and the well? Seeing what I was confused elderly people, and then remarked: "You do not know, those who used to do the bamboo flute are needed through the winter calendar, because bamboo have grown too lax in the spring and summer, and only to the winter, the temperature suddenly cold every day 'Feng Yan onslaught frost's sword', and its texture can become more closely and firm, and whether you left-right wind blowing, light played urgent played, it is not different now, not out of tune. while the annual bamboo, has not been frost snow invasion, although a much longer look good, but I used to make flutes, they bite the bullet, and not only sound bad lot, but also there were minor cracks, insect borers that also like bamboo. "
I understood why. Then a carpenter with experience in this area, but lost for this particular reason. He also did not perfunctory words of a child.
Not every root can be made of bamboo flute, because not every bamboo stems are willing to experience winter bitterly cold, wind and frost, rain and snow, not every bamboo stems can be hard texture, character valuable, in stubborn silence at metamorphosis, in flesh and blood inside the bones wire wire strands of all sublimation, when the read it, cherish it were not put it down, blow off steam, such as blue, it will sound tons are now vibrant flow of long, have a long life and never change by the United States.
