Abstract

Both Tibetans and Native Americans have tribal music and a special unique culture. In addition to the overall composition of regional culture, local musical instruments are a small component of cultural factors in regional culture. By comparison analysis, this essay aims to explore the similarities and differences Eagle bone flute from Tibet and the Quena originated from Native Americans as examples, in terms of their appearance, performing technique, and special customs. As Native Americans are semi-nomadic and Tibetans are nomadic, some of their habits are similar, but differences also appear. This essay finally finds out that the distinctions are on account of their different cultural traditions and lifestyles. The two kinds of flutes demonstrated in this essay have quite different outlooks, different timbres, and tones, but similar cultural backgrounds and performing conditions. The study contributes to future instrument production and provides suggestions about preserving the existence of the two kinds of flutes.
