Ukwakha I-Khaen — Isiginci Somlomo SaseLao Esine-Reed Ekhululekile

I-khaen iyinsimbi yomlomo ene-reed ekhululekile yaseLaos naseNyakatho-mpumalanga yeThailand: amapayipi amade oqalo abekwe acabalele esihlengeni edlula ebhokisini elincane lomoya. Vuthela noma udonse, mboza izimbobo, futhi ikhipha imisindo ehlala njalo nomculo ngesikhathi esisodwa komculo we-mor lam.

Sika isethi yamapayipi oqalo amade, amancane anobude obulandelanayo bese uwabeka ngemigqa emibili ehlelekile — isihlenga. Amapayipi ayishumi nane kuya kwayishumi nesithupha enza i-khaen ephelele; qala ngambalwa.

Qopha ibhulokhi elincane lokhuni oluqinile libe yibhokisi lomoya elingenalutho elinembobo yomlomo ekugcineni okukodwa. Sonke isihlenga samapayipi sizodlula kuleli bhokisi.

Ensimbini encane, sika ulimi oluncane olukhululekile lwepayipi ngalinye — umucu onwebekayo ozulazula ngokukhululekile emseleni olinganayo, uboshelwe ekugcineni okukodwa futhi ukhululekile kokunye.

Faka i-reed epayipini ngalinye endaweni lapho ipayipi lizodlula khona ngaphakathi ebhokisini lomoya, ivalwe ngokuphelele ingangenisi moya, ulimi lukhululekile ukuzulazula.

Dlulisa wonke amapayipi ebhokisini lomoya ukuze ama-reed awo ahlale ngaphakathi kwalo, bese uvala sonke isikhala ngengcina emnyama ukuze kungabikho moya ophumayo ngaphandle kokudlula kuma-reed.

Sika imbobo eyodwa yomunwe epayipini ngalinye, ngaphandle nje kwebhokisi lomoya. Le mbobo iyiswishi yokuvula/ukuvala yomsindo walelo payipi.

Beka ibhokisi lomoya emlonyeni wakho, vuthela kancane, bese umboza imbobo yepayipi elilodwa. Ukumboza imbobo kuphusha umoya udlule ku-reed yalelo payipi, futhi liyakhala.

Imbobo evulekile ivumela umoya uphume futhi ihlale ithule; imbobo embozwe iyacula. Bamba izimbobo ezimbalwa zimboziwe ukuze kube nomsindo ohlala njalo kuyilapho eminye iminwe yakho ikhetha imisindo.

Engeza ingcina encane esihlokweni se-reed ukuze UNCIPHISE umsindo wayo, noma ufayile isihloko sibe sincane ukuze UWUKHUPHULE, ulungise amapayipi esikalini semisindo eyisikhombisa ye-khaen.

Bamba umsindo ohlala njalo ngaphansi komculo ogijimayo bese uphefumula UNGENISA kanye nokukhipha — ama-reed akhululekile akhala ngazo zombili izindlela, ngakho i-khaen ayidingi ukuma ngenxa yokuphefumula. Lokho kugagasa okungapheli kungumsindo we-mor lam.

I-khaen isebenza nge-reed ekhululekile, njengencamashi i-sheng yaseShayina: ulimi oluncane lwensimbi oluzulazula ngokukhululekile phambili nangemuva LUDLULA emseleni olingana kahle njengoba umoya udlula, luqobe ukugeleza komoya kube umsindo ongaguquki ezingeni lolimi uqobo futhi lukhale ngokufanayo noma uvuthela noma udonsa. Kodwa lapho i-sheng iqoqa amapayipi amafushane emile endishini yethanga, i-khaen ibeka amapayipi amade oqalo abhangqiwe acabalele esihlengeni esidlula ebhokisini elincane lomoya lokhuni oluqinile elibanjwe ngazo zombili izandla — isimo esihlukile somqondo ofanayo, osakazeke e-Asia. Ipayipi ngalinye line-reed eyodwa, futhi imbobo yalo yomunwe iyiswishi: imbobo embozwe kuphela ephusha umoya ngo-reed, ngakho umdlali angabamba ezinye izimbobo ukuze kube nomsindo ohlala njalo kuyilapho eminye iminwe ikhetha umculo phezu kwawo, ngaphandle kokuma ukuze aphefumule — ukwakheka komsindo okugagasa njalo kwengoma ye-mor lam yaseLao nase-Isan. Ama-reed alungiswa ngokuwafayila abe mancane ukuze kukhuphuke umsindo noma ngokulayisha izihloko zawo ngengcina encane ukuze wehle, asethwe esikalini semisindo eyisikhombisa ye-khaen, futhi lonke ibhokisi lomoya livalwa ngengcina yezinambuzane emnyama ukuze wonke umoya odonswayo udlule kuphela kuma-reed. I-reed ekhululekile i-khaen ne-sheng ezakhelwe phezu kwayo ingukhokho we-harmonica, i-accordion ne-reed organ yaseNtshonalanga, futhi isihlobo sayo esikude wulimi oluncwebwayo lwe-jaw harp. Insimbi yomculo yesizwe saseLaos, i-khaen yaziwa yi-UNESCO njengengxenye yefa eliphilayo lesintu.
