The hulusi (traditional: ; simplified: ;
pinyin: húlúsī) is a
free reed wind instrument from
China. It is held vertically and has three
bamboo pipes which pass through a
gourd wind chest; one pipe has finger holes and the other two are
drone pipes. The hulusi was originally used primarily in the
Yunnan province by the
Dai and other non-Han ethnic groups but is now played throughout China, and hulusi are manufactured in such northern cities as
Tianjin. Like the related free reed pipe called
bawu, the hulusi has a very pure,
clarinet-like sound.
