I'm glad you received it, as a postman I wasn't that optimistic you would get it. My computer and typing skills are very basic so I will have to draw you a fingering chart and scan it.
In the meantime:
never blow too hard
detach and dry after use
blow from your diaphragm

I have learned something in the few short days of having this Hulusi...it is not a C hulusi. The lowest note is 25 cents sharp of G.

Yes it looks better than it plays. But the beauty of jianpo is that the same piece of music can be played on any key. It will only sound different if it is played with other instruments.
The one positive thing about this hulusi is that it doesn't take alot of breath to play. Even double tongueing is easy .
Please bear me a few days to draw up a fingering chart.
Ed

The key to hulusis and dizis are defined by covering up the first 3 holes. As I understand it western woodwind are defined by all the holes covered up.
But yes, it still looks better than it sounds.

Well, as long as I am not having to match up with another instrument, this hulusi sounds just fine all by itself.
Yes, for an instrument like the tinwhistle, it is a D when you have all holes covered.
