巴乌是中国管乐器。虽然形状像长笛，但它实际上是一种自由簧片乐器，带有一个金属簧片。它以横向（水平）方式播放。它具有纯净的单簧管般的音色，其演奏技巧结合了许多装饰的使用，尤其是弯曲的音调。
巴乌很可能起源于中国西南的云南省，它已成为中国各地的标准乐器，用于现代中国传统乐器合奏的作曲。该乐器还与中国西南地区的苗族、彝族、哈尼族等少数民族文化密切相关。它通常用作独奏乐器，并经常出现在电影配乐中；它有时也会在流行音乐录音中听到。
尽管巴乌仍然主要在中国演出，但近年来它已被欧洲作曲家和演奏家所采用。
原文：
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. The instrument is also closely associated with Hmong, Yi, Hani and other minority cultures in southwestern China. It is typically used as a solo instrument, and is often featured in film scores; it is sometimes also heard in popular music recordings.
Although the bawu is still predominantly performed in China, it has in recent years been adopted by European composers and performers.
A brand new, but for some reason not yet released instrument. This library was completed and ready for sale in December 2019. At the moment, the Evolution Series website does not have information about World Colors Bawu. There is no user manual in this release. For this reason, I will simply list the main characteristics of the instrument.
