川滇交界彝族马布的考察与辨析研究

Investigation and Analysis of Mabu of the Yi People on the Border between Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces

有关马布的文献始载于20世纪60年代,根据作者对文献的整理,以及结合两次在云南丽江和楚雄、四川凉山两省十个县(市)对十四位民间艺人制作乐器的田野考察,初步得出结论:马布作为彝语音译汉的称呼是被彝族人民所广泛认可的,而马布的别称为“布惹”这个说法有待商榷。对于马布的形制及制作技艺方面,作者发现各地彝族的制作技艺较为统一,仅存在细微的差别。在音响特性上,通过声学软件的测量得知马布的牛角喇叭口对于乐器本身的作用甚微,对其共鸣效果的影响不明显。

Based on the literature and fieldwork,the author draws a preliminary conclusion:“bure”as another name for mabu(a wind instrument)is debatable;there are only slight differences in mabu crafting techniques in different places,and the bell mouth of mabu has little effect on the instrument itself.
