What keys can 38 spring key sheng play?

The specific way of playing this instrument depends on the tune and scale of the music.

The 38-spring key sheng can play a variety of modes. Sheng is a musical instrument composed of many sound tubes, each of which has its own notes, so its mode is not fixed and can be changed according to the skill of the performer and the needs of the work. Traditionally, Sheng mainly uses five tones, namely Gong, Shang, Jiao, Qian and Yu. But through skill, you can also achieve a diatonic scale, and even tune some variables.

Different spring keys may have different key designs, corresponding fingering and scales, so the specific modes that can be played may be different. Although Sheng can play a variety of modes, he is particularly good at some modes in timbre and expressiveness. For example, when playing China traditional music, it performed particularly well on the pentatonic scale.
