FEMUSINDO.com - The flute (Indonesian: seruling/suling) is a traditional Indonesian wind instrument made of bamboo, although currently there are modern versions of flutes made of other materials.
The sound of the flute is characterized by its softness and can be combined with other musical instruments. The music genre in Indonesia that is identical to this musical instrument is dangdut.
This type of wind instrument or commonly called an aerophone is known to originate from West Java, although several regions in Indonesia also have flutes.
The flute can be played by blowing the round hole at the base of the instrument.
When blowing the hole at the base, the tips of the fingers also need to work to open and close the holes that function as tone producers.
The source of the flute sound is produced from the air that enters the flute holes when blown. The number of holes on the flute consists of 4 to 6 holes.
The flute itself is a traditional wind instrument that still exists today, but with its existence, fewer and fewer people are skilled at using it.
Behind the sonority of its sound, the bamboo flute has a mystical side. This wind instrument is also considered a medium for summoning supernatural beings, aka spirits.
Related to mysticism, flutes are usually used at ritual events or attractions that use immune science. (*)
