Around 7000 years ago, one day, some primitive bamboo found after being blown off the one half of bamboo swaying in the wind, while giving a wonderful voice. One of them cut a bamboo, put it in his hands, one hand over his bamboo bottom, then blow Zhezhi bamboo, even sent a wonderful music. Then other people have to act, they cut different lengths, thickness ranging from bamboo, made a separate different sound tube, which is the earliest “single tube pan.”
This pan flute playing is not an easy thing, each player holds a separate sound tube and arranged in alphabetical order according to some, they have to play according to the instructions in the command, of course, each person can only play a fixed sound.

After gradually open sound, careful maintenance, the use of the longer sound better, entry to practice and play are suitable.
4 Shichiku: Not suitable for making panpipes. Black bamboo pipe wall thickness, and length between bamboo and bamboo short, made of a tube pan will average 1-2 bamboo, seriously affecting the pan flute timbre; because of pipe wall thickness, with the breath Many, even more than the wooden panpipes also need a very deep breath basis to blow. Advantages: easy to crack pipe wall thickness in the north. Disadvantages: Difficult sounded, sound in general, not suitable for beginners.

Beginners Guide
Panpipes is an ancient and beautiful musical instruments, sound ethereal and elegant, entry is easy to learn. Sought after by more and more fans. Panpipes one a natural seven pentatonic sound arrangement, ideal for zero-based, zero music theory music lovers of all ages. Learn panpipes, first a physical and mental pleasure thing, so when the mood is particularly important to practice, followed by technology. Theoretically blew a tube is equivalent to entry, combined teaching practice and improve.
Three basic skills
Beginner panpipes, one must master breath (breath), spit sound (tone) and mobile (interval) that three basic skills are indispensable when playing through repeated practice, in order to meet the high degree of understanding for future learning difficult skills , and lay a solid foundation.
1. Breathing
Use abdominal breathing. Inhale to maximize outward expansion abdomen, chest remain intact. Exhale, to maximize inward contraction of the abdomen, chest, remain intact.
2. Tonguing
First, to form a correct tone: Smile – mouth Bijin – to both sides of the mouth stretch – stretch the lower jaw slightly forward, do not expose the teeth. Tongue outstretched – lips pressed – quickly recover – while blowing. This action is repeated practice, and every blow a tone to be used for tonguing! Only mastered the correct way after tonguing before they can be played. Suggest a mirror to practice.
3. Mobile
Panpipes a one tone, moving accuracy has become a top priority! Moving, to keep the horizontal and vertical pan and the lower lip and the positional relationship of a mouthpiece, and each move the tube to be aligned. Suggested exercises to start looking for the second time when the pipe bit – three degrees – four degrees – five degrees – degrees.
In short, every practice should be repeated right and correct errors, when attention is difficult to juggle three starts slowly to act in harmony, forming a subconscious action, until “hand-to – mouth to – gas to.”
Pay attention to the issue
1. Just got panpipes friends, eager to put all the pipes are sounded, in fact, it is difficult to do. Panpipes most likely wind was Alto area, then bass and treble. Wind elastic to go through the mouth, spit and other integrated sound intensity exercises to complete.
2. No attention to basic skills exercises. Any kind of musical instrument practice, there is a gradual process, and the preparation of teaching materials are progressive approach. In accordance with the progress of teaching and presentation in order to practice is essential. Some friends from the first pick a few simple materials inside and thought, there is a direct blow their favorite music when Etudes, worse, basic training is not in place could not wait to pursue difficult track, the result can only be less effective.
3. Learn other instruments blindly techniques. Since there is no formal domestic long panpipes materials, many of my friends are practicing their own way, which is very easy to form some errors. In fact, the pan after the Romanians of research and development, has become an independent existence and has its own distinctive characteristics of musical instruments, practice also has its integrity and scientific. Reference is not a bad thing, but it should be based on full understanding and knowledge of the various techniques panpipes basis.
Panpipes maintenance
All pan require maintenance, because it is a relatively fragile precision instrument.
North-South regional problem can not be ignored, because the air humidity and temperature changes, pay attention to the phenomenon of custody is prone to cracking. First, do not set the pan in the air long bare, as far as possible into the bag after each use. Avoid exposure to high temperatures or sunlight, and do not put in the air, or from a heated house suddenly exposed to outdoors, bamboo is easy to crack.
1, if you in the north, be sure to note crack, especially bamboo panpipes materials, cold and dry climate in the north, especially in winter, no matter if the shelving, pan will crack. Northeast, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Tibet’s friends to pay attention to the crack panpipes maintenance.
Northern cracking method summarized as follows:
① attention to indoor and outdoor temperature, especially in the winter, when playing in the outdoor heated pan must take a similar temperature and body temperature to blow. You can use hot water bottle heating (warm), or as much as possible not to panpipes brought outdoors.
② must not be exposed to the air, not on the heating side, not the sun, avoid the wind. Often blow pan, to maintain the humidity of the tube. After blowing a steam pipe do not use hair dryer, let it dry and then put the package protected.
③ periodically wipe with a wet towel tube outside, you can keep humidity pan helps crack.
④ conditional friends can use a humidifier to keep indoor humidity, but also help their skin, oh.
2, if you are in the South, do not worry about the basic pan will crack problem, but should pay attention to mildew.
Southern mildew method summarized as follows:
① Indoor maintain proper ventilation, drying, but the same can not pan exposed to the air, not the sun, not the time to blow into the package.
② After blowing panpipes vapor will later attach, then the water vapor can be thrown out, and then invert the pan leaning against the wall on the desktop, so that the remaining moisture evaporates slowly out, so completely dry before into the package. Do not use hair dryer blowing, otherwise it will crack.
③ You can also use cleaning rod wrapped gauze or tissue paper, cotton and other energy-absorbent material back and forth gently wipe the tube wall, do not apply excessive force to poke cork or beeswax.
④ If improper maintenance, panpipes mildew has appeared, you can use this method to deal with mildew remedy: Put pan on a damp location about 40 to 50 degrees (not too hot) electric hot water bottle, and slowly get rid of the tube water vapor, the color of the tube to be restored. Gently rub moldy and lost. This approach particularly useful.
Also clean the inside and outside to keep the tube after each use wipe with a sponge brush evenly inside each tube. Easy washing, otherwise it will change the pitch; together with hard objects likely to cause or influence the sound tube rupture surface gloss.
Best time to wipe the playing process produces attached to the inner wall of the saliva, pan, you can use the smallest tuning rods above the wound on his napkin, in the course of play, every 20 minutes – 30 minutes to wipe a damp within the wall.
When the pan flute playing time is too long, the inner wall of humidity is too large pan, pan flute sound will decrease, which is to stop playing the panpipes dried before further use.
Do not touch the pan flute sound tube stopper, stopper position for the accuracy of sound quality and sound will be greatly affected.
Can not wipe the pan with a textile fluff inside wall.
Bamboo panpipes, wooden panpipes within the wall, you can periodically wipe nut oil, so maintenance is very good for the pan flute.

Inadequacies
Each instrument has its own advantages, there are also its own deficiencies, for example, if sax to play “Traditional”, then it is difficult to play the saxophone on the beautiful tone, the effect is not playing nicely, should Almost like funerals less. So panpipes This instrument is not perfect, this instrument is not suitable for playing fast-paced song large intervals, such as “rush to go Kyushu” This song, pan flute player often refuse to play this song, intervals span, That sound and tone span, large distance through the tube, the fast-paced song, the player must find a good pipe precise position, and requires adjust breathing, rapid ventilation. Of course, not to say that all of the pan flute players are not playing a large interval fast paced song, and some pan flute virtuoso is done.
Beginner panpipes best practice some small interval, soothing music.
Pan flute playing, with the accompaniment of music played can better play panpipes beautiful tone, playing hide and breathing during intermittent defects.
If playing in the open field, that panpipes sound is significantly impaired, excessive moisture environment will affect bamboo panpipes and wooden panpipes tone.

Development Status
Since the 1970s, such as panpipes in Zamfir driven home, panpipes to flourish, especially in the past two decades, the worldwide emergence of a large number of panpipes player.
Of course, the development of pan leaving television promotion, film and television works to promote the development and dissemination of pan flute music, and pan flute music to improve the visibility of the film.

Domestic film and television work for the development of pan without a profound impact and substantive role in promoting, although manufacturers have produced video, pan, pan, pan and antique, but those few people who understand the film and television creative panpipes and flutes in history the important role of the ancient court music, few of them understand now panpipes music. Only recently a new version of “My Fair Princess” and “harem Zhen Huan Biography”, and occasionally can see the shadow of panpipes.
Pan flute lovers in the country since the limited number of pan virtuoso few, so the domestic far (November 2011) has not yet panpipes Association. Grading agency has not established panpipes, nor baked pan Grading system.
From the point of view of the production process, pan, pan increasingly perfect, there are many panpipes foreign producers, domestic lengthy panpipes sound quality and appearance of the proximity of foreign brands, pan, pan size categories and the development of new production speeds are beyond foreign manufacturers.
In China, production and development of pan to pan producers did not bring much in return, panpipes benefits and profits are not and flutes, Hulusi compared because all sales are subject to the constraints of panpipes.
If a pan producers, not playing pan flute, pan flute playing without training capacity, then the outlook is not optimistic about his business ……
As pan flute music panpipes own charm and the growing influence of the past two years, the number of domestic science panpipes also doubled.

In the process, so that all kinds of musical instruments to achieve the perfect match performer, teacher training takes a lot of effort.
If the school set up pan band, very different, as panpipes band less investment and quick, two months to six months on the results. Speaking of input costs, the formation of a 20-man band, the choice of high-grade panpipes 1680 yuan, the investment cost of 33,600 yuan, 680 yuan if the choice of mid-range panpipes, investment costs only 13,600 yuan, pan flute band formed costs only Western band fraction.
Of course, the pan flute band sorely lacking is the professional training of teachers, the problem difficult to solve, and now advanced communications, panpipes producers can provide off-site online training school, training tutors pan band.
Yangzhou Yangtze Tianjin Elementary School Band is a successful example of pan flute band, this band performances abroad on several occasions, and even travel across the ocean to Australia, 17 September 2011, in the Great Hall to participate in the theme of “loyalty Xiangyang,” the Li Danyang solo concert scene for Li Danyang panpipes accompaniment.
