Lú shēng / Lúshēng (-)
original: 芦笙 (simplified; traditional 蘆笙)
Mouth organ with a "rectangular" or tubular wind chest
From 芦 (reed [i.e. cane; ws]); Dòng (侗族), Miáo (苗族), and Yáo (瑶族) minorities; Described by Blench as "played by southern minorities in China and neighbouring countries, such as the Dong, Gelao, Lahu, Hmong and Shui. […] Although the pipes protrude through the bottom of the wind-chest in a manner similar to the those of the hulu sheng, the pipes are closed near the lower end. Often the upper ends of the pipes have additional [sic] resonators added to them and in some cases a pipe might be fitted with multiple reeds to emphasise a particular note"; ➺ Húlú shēng; NB: ➺ Phang (Laos).
