Lou Sheng (lusheng) also read spelled "sheng" is a musical instrument with Hmong tubes (pipes)
multiples of bamboo, which are mounted in a long tube (subway) hardwood. Often five or six lines (pipes)
different bases and thus a polyphonic instrument. He enters sizes ranging from very small to several meters in length.
The lusheng is used mainly in rural areas of China Southwest (eg. Guizhou, Guangxi and Yunnan)
and in neighboring countries like Laos and Viet Nam, where he is played by ethnic groups such as the Miao
or Hmong and Dong. Performers often dance by swinging the instrument from side to the other.
