HuLuSi is a traditional free-reed wind instrument originating from China, recognized for its distinctive sound shaped by a vibrating tail tone. The name combines 'HuLu,' meaning bottle gourd, and 'Si,' symbolizing the instrument's persistent and silky tonal character. This instrument has deep cultural roots, particularly among ethnic groups in Yunnan province, also known as the 'South of Clouds.' It has been an integral part of regional music for centuries, embodying a unique blend of softness and persistence in its sound.

Today, HuLuSi stands as a prominent symbol of Yunnan's musical heritage, gaining appreciation beyond its traditional context through modern adaptations and international exposure. The sampled HuLuSi in this collection includes two variants: a larger HuLuSi tuned in G with a range from B3 to E5, and a smaller HuLuSi in C spanning G4 to A5. Both are meticulously sampled to capture the nuanced playing techniques that define the instrument’s expressive capabilities.
