    The bawu is a Chinese wind instrument. Although shaped like a flute, it is
    actually a free reed instrument, with a single metal reed. It is played in a transverse
    (horizontal) manner. It has a pure, clarinet-like timbre and its playing technique
    incorporates the use of much ornamentation, particularly bending tones.
    The bawu likely originated in the Yunnan province of southwest China, it has become
    a standard instrument throughout China, used in modern Chinese compositions
    for traditional instrument ensembles.
    Although the bawu is still predominantly performed in China, it has in recent
    years been adopted by European composers and performers. Rohan Leach from
    England, Raphael De Cock from Belgium, and Herman Witkam from the Netherlands
    have all taken the instrument in new directions. The musician Guo Yue, who
    now resides in England, has long promoted the instrument and plays it on all of his
    recordings.
    Our bawu library will allow you to imitate virtually that a real bawu could
    play. We recorded intervals for up and down legato articulations in two variants:
    normal legato and glissando. We have provided the ability to vary the dynamics
    of the instrument to convey a wide, detailed range of expression from pp to ff.
    Natural vibrato may be added to the sound at any time. Staccato articulations
    provide added realism by means of a round-robin algorythm. Users can reassign
    keyswitches and midi-controllers, then save the changes to a user preset. Default
    settings are easily restored at any time.(See “Preset” section).
