华德福的五音竖笛，是老师和家长必备的一款乐器，老师和家长吹出来的天籁之音，是对孩子心灵最好的滋养。幼儿园阶段的孩子可以老师吹，孩子听，一至三年级吹五音笛，三年级下半期的孩子就开始吹七音笛了。

为什么五音竖笛用梨木或樱桃木制作，七音竖笛用枫木？

答：简单来讲、枫木做的笛子的音色比较响亮清脆，而樱桃木和梨木则更为轻柔。因此，通常来说，梨木和樱桃木做的笛子的音色更适合小孩子。而全（七）音竖笛，采用的是更为丰富的音域，因此可以用更为清脆的枫木制作，音色适合大一些的孩子或成人。

指法说明：如下图

A=432Hz的乐器相对A=440Hz的乐器来说，是音低一些。乐器的选择，主要是透过个人的喜好去选择，有人认为A=432Hz的乐器更滋养感官，也有人认为A=440Hz的乐器更容易让人产生积极的情绪。（注：432Hz的竖笛在笛子底部处有烙上432字样如下图）

国际标准音

        C调中LA的音名是A，把A(440Hz)作为标准音，这都是在历史上逐步确定下来的。在确定这个标准以前，中国有自己的标准音，12律中的黄钟律作为标准音。乐音体系中的各音级，其高度都有一定的标准。音的标准高度，历代不尽相同。目前国际通用的标准高度(第一国际高度)是每秒钟振动440次的a音，即以小字一组的a为“标准音”。国际上有了统一的音高标准，它方便了音乐理论研究、乐器制作和文化交流。

竖笛的保养：

为了保证竖笛的音质，需要定期给竖笛上油（至少一个月一次），笛子的内侧和外侧都要上，当吹的位置有颜色变浅的地方的时候，在吹的口中也上一滴油。或者纯的“jojoba oil”(荷荷巴油) 其他的油都是不合适的。不过经过我们长时间使用霍霍巴油和原装竖笛油的对比测试，使用霍霍巴油的竖笛音质保持得不如使用原装竖笛油的，而且音质的差别比较明显。所以建议大家还是选用原装竖笛油吧，因为竖笛保养每次只需要2-3滴油，很省的。

另外，每次吹过之后都要使用擦拭棒擦拭竖笛内侧，将水汽擦净。

竖笛说明书——请看清楚护理的方法

我自己的笛子已经用了一年多了，可是直到今年在Evelyne的提醒下才好好把竖笛的说明书看了一遍。这一看不要紧，发现自己的笛子真是太疏于照顾了！而且我发现很多老师也不是很清楚竖笛的护理方式，所以发奋图强，打算把五音竖笛和全音竖笛的说明书都翻译出来。现在先发全音的，五音的护理方式容后再发。文中翻译不妥当的地方，请英文好的朋友帮忙指正

Choroi .instruments have been developed through a search for a new sound quality and playing diversity. Especially created for children, youth and adults who through playing, either in groups or alone are able to discover a new music in all her facets.

科乐耳乐器一直致力于寻求新的声音品质与演奏的多样性，不断在发展。科乐耳乐器主要是为孩子，青年以及成人而特别制造的，使他们能够在群体或个人演奏中发现新音乐的方方面面。

What the Choroi flute achieves is a mild, lively, pliable sound – a distinct contrast with the often raucous and forceful sound of other recorders. The pure gentleness of sound from the Choroi flutes is especially benificial in large groups e.g. school classes.

科乐耳竖笛具有温和，生动和柔软的声音特性，这与其他八孔竖笛常发出沙哑雄浑的声音形成鲜明对比。科乐耳竖笛纯净轻柔的声音特别适用于大群体吹奏，例如，学校班级。

The instrument’s specially designed air channel, it’s rounded labium, and it’s inner organ (keyhole) makes possible a transparent singing tone. It’s outer form, with it’s naturally moulded planes enables a fluent relaxed finger movement and simplifies the semitone grip.

该乐器特别的气道设计，圆形的唇片以及内部结构（音孔），使之发出具有穿透性的振鸣音。外形上，自然的平面能让手指可以流畅轻松地移动，并更容易掌控住半音。

Relaxed fingers are essential for a pure singing sound. Arm, hands and fingers should feel free and loose. The fingertips rest lightly over the tone openings and one exercises the feel and spacing by gently moving the fingers over the flute until one finds the finger holes with ease.

要取得纯净的声音，手指放松是至关重要的。手臂，手和手指应是自在放松的。指尖轻轻地搭在音孔上练习感觉，并轻柔地在笛子上移动手指感受音孔的间隔，直到手指能够容易地找到指孔。

Tone forming: Hold the mouth half open, lips loose and rest the flute – middle of the block- on the lower lip. The upper lip covers the mouthpiece by approx. 1 cm. Blow carefully, as though blowing huge imaginary soap bubbles – or with a whispering hush - to produce the best sound. Practice and constant listening will help you discover the purest sound possible with the Choroi flute.

音的形成：嘴巴半张，嘴唇放松，把笛子轻放在下唇上，在唇的中央位置。上唇刚好盖着吹口大概1厘米。小心地吹，就好像在吹巨大的想象的肥皂泡一样，或者是低声发出“嘘…..”声的嘴型，这样可以吹出最好的声音来。 持续的练习和听可以帮你找出科乐耳竖笛最纯净的声音来。

Important for the preservation and tone quality of the instrument is correct care which begins by ”playing in”. Before use, bring 1-2 drops of Choroi flute oil or pure jojoba oil – no other type - into the mouthpiece. Blow hard, holding a finger over the labium to spread the oil in the headpiece. Play only 10-15 mins daily the first week, 30mins daily the 2nd week. After this your playing time is unlimited by regular use.

乐器的保护和声音品质最重要的是正确的保养，而这始于“养内”。使用前，滴1-2滴科乐耳竖笛油或纯净的荷荷巴油（只限这两种）到吹口里。一只手指放在唇片上，让油进入笛子顶部。在头一周里，每天只吹10到15分钟，第二周的时候，每天吹30分钟。在此之后，你就可以正常地使用你的笛子了。

After playing blow the mouthpiece clean and dry the windpipe with the wiper provided. Blow 1-2 drops of oil through the mouthpiece at least once a week. Oil the inside of the flute by placing a few drops of oil on the swabbing-strip, and rub some oil on the outside with your fingers-or a cloth! The wood should never feel rough or dried out. An unoiled instrument reacts on the breath moisture - the wood expands, becomes rough and the sound deteriorates.

吹过笛子后，用（吹风球）吹干净吹口并用附送的清洁用品擦干笛管。每周至少一次从吹口处吹1－2滴油进去。放几滴油在擦拭条上，给笛子里面上油，然后用手指或布给笛子外面擦擦油。一定要避免木头变得粗糙或干燥。没有上油的乐器会对吹笛时呼出的潮气起反应：木头膨胀，变得粗糙，音质变坏。

Please use the original wiper provided as it is especially designed to prevent damage to the inner ”keyhole” in the instrument. The absorbent strip for the wiper and the flute oil can be obtained by the Choroi-retailer or Choroi-workshops.

我们提供的清洁用品是特别设计的，可以避免损伤笛子内部的音孔，所以请只使用我们提供的原装清洁用品。清洁布带和竖笛油可以通过科乐耳的零售店或者科乐耳工作室买到。

Fingering Chart

指法图

The natural way of playing semitones (sharps and flats) on the CHOROI C flute is without doubt to cover half a hole. When seeking a tone which lies between two of the normal finger positions, one simply opens the lower hole somewhat. As it is in many cases difficult to abstain from ‘forked fingerings’, their execution is illustrated here, in addition. The two lower semitones c# and d# can only be obtained by half-covering, and each player should experiment and listen if certain tones do not sound better with the ‘half-covering’ technique.

毫无疑问，科乐耳C调笛子吹奏半音（升号和降号）最自然的方法莫过于掩住半个音孔。当寻找一个位于两个手指位置之间的音时，只需要简单地稍微打开低孔。因为在许多情况下，很难从“分叉指法”中获得，此外，操作过程在这里已说明了。两个低半音c# 和 d#只能通过半掩音孔获得，同时，每位演奏者都应尝试与聆听某个音调是否在“半掩”技巧下，声音没有变得更好听。

By ‘overblowing’ one can raise the pitch by one octave to the flute’s second register. If one plays the note ‘e’ for example and lets the left hand thumb open its hole slightly (without ‘pinching’ the hole with the thumbnail) the higher octave can be reached. On the fingering chart, these half covered holes are illustrated with a ‘half moon’ ( ). With proper breath control it is well possible to reach the upper octave without half-covering the thumb hole. These are the basic fingerings, it is, of course, fully possible for every player to add to the list, e.g. to adjust the intonation.

用力吹能将音高提高一个八度，达到第二音域。例如，吹“e”音时，让左手拇指稍微放开按住的孔（不要用拇指指甲“挤压”音孔）就能达到高八度音。在本文的指法图中，这些半掩的音孔由“半月形”标明。通过适当的呼吸控制，很有可能不用半掩拇指音孔也能达到更高的八度。这些都是基本的指法，当然也可自己添加指法上去，调整音调。
