A hybrid crossover of brass and woodwind
Suona is rather unique. It is sort of a crossover between
brass and woodwind. The sound of Suona is energetic,
unapologetically harsh, abrasively brash, and proud-to-be-
so-loud, blasting out everythings in sight.
The sound is simply wild.
Suona is believed to be derived from the Persian Zurna
and slowly adopted by the Chinese in the course of history.
By the time of the Ming Dynasty (14th - 17th century),
Suona is documented as a prevalent instrument in China.
POWERED BY
Today, Suona is still widely used at the
local grassroot events such as weddings
or religious festivals, especially in the
rural area. Some modified versions of
Suona are now the official instruments
of large traditional Chinese orchestras.
Extraordinary Playability
ChineeSuona contains two different
Suonas: a Big Suona in G (note
range: D4-E6), a Small Suona in D
(note range: A3-B5), with various
types of legato, tremolo, trills and
staccato, rolls and vibes playing styles.
Like all other Chinee Series instruments,
the live playability of ChineeSuona is,
again, the focus of the design. The audio demos here is an an
exemplary showoff of what can be done with only one single Suona
patch.
