TONGJIAO: COPPER HORN

Lip-vibrated aerophone. Copper (tong) and animal horn (jiao) are its materials, thus the name. Cattle or sheep horn is made into a mouthpiece by grinding its end. While blowing, lips are used as reeds. In the times of primitive tribes the instrument, made of wood or bamboo, would be played for signals in hunting. Copper was not used as material until the Northern Qi Dynasty (550~577). And its popularity was in the Sui and Tang times (581~907). The occasions for the playing of this horn are military ceremonies, folk festival celebrations, weddings and funerals. The version in Tibetan Buddhist temples, deep and severe in sound, can be as long as three meters.
