AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

At present, the conventional cucurbit silk is usually seven-hole cucurbit silk. On the center line of the front of the supervisor, there are middle 5-tone holes, middle-tone 3-tone holes, middle-tone 2-tone holes, middle-tone 1-tone holes, and bass 7-tone holes respectively. Hole, bass 6-tone hole, there is a middle-tone 6-tone hole between the reed on the center line on the back of the supervisor and the middle-tone 5-tone hole. In this way, with the addition of the tube tone and bass 5, the pronunciation scale of the traditional cucurbit silk is arranged as follows: bass 5, Bass 6, Bass 7, Alto 1, Alto 2, Alto 3, Alto 5, Alto 6, the highest pitch can only reach Alto 6, and there is no dedicated Alto 4, Alto 7, and Treble 1 and Treble 2, therefore, many songs, such as popular songs, have alto 4, alto 7, treble 1 and treble 2, which cannot be played with traditional seven-hole gourd silk

In addition, because the traditional seven-hole cucurbit silk has no special semitone holes, the precise pitch of the semitones cannot be guaranteed due to human control when playing the semitones.

Therefore, the traditional cucurbit silk is only limited to playing the minor tunes of Yunnan minorities, and it is difficult to adapt to wide-range modulation and music with ascending and descending semitones.

It is precisely because the range of the traditional seven-hole gourd silk is too narrow and there is no special half-tone hole, so it is extremely inconvenient to transfer, and only fixed fingerings can be played, which greatly limits the promotion and development of gourd silk.
