Pitch Range
Plays B3 to F5, fully chromatic
- Basic C major diatonic scale of 12 notes (1.5 octave)
- Total of 19 notes, counting all sharps and flats
This 11-hole xun features a subhole covered by right middle finger that not only extends the range down to a B3 but also affords fingerings for all half-tones. No half-covering of toneholes is required as in previous, more traditional xun models.
The Dragon xun is beautifully hand painted with irridescent green and gold and finished with acrylic varnish... a finely crafted piece of artwork in its own right. And now, with a patented windway design, all Song Wei's xun models are unmatched in playability.
The bass Dragon xun can also be ordered in the key of G (3 diatonic notes lower than the bass in C). Price is $98.95
