排灣族雙管口笛與鼻笛，是傳達內心情感的樂器，排灣族雙管笛形制一管有按孔，可吹奏音階曲調，另一管無按孔，吹奏時以持續低音進行，兩者因而形成複音狀態，也是臺灣原住民樂器中唯一可以發出「複音音樂」的樂器。本件作品是雙管口笛，於排灣族的Raval系統為普遍，常見木塞式斜孔吹口。排灣族所使用的雙管口、鼻笛，不管在樂器發展史上、樂器使用的功能性、獨特性上，都是世界上絕無僅有的。本件口笛的作者是伊誕‧巴瓦瓦隆(Etan Pavavalung)，而 Burke博物館收藏的鼻笛是伊誕已故的摯愛父親白浪·巴瓦瓦隆（Pairang Pavavaljung）所製作，父子兩人的作品，在本展覽裡跨越時空相會。

Paiwan twin-pipe mouth flute and nose flute are musical instruments used to convey inner emotions. The twin-pipe flutes consist of two bamboo pipes: one with finger holes for playing melodic tunes, while the other lacks finger holes and produces a sustained bass note. When played together, they create a harmonious tone, making it the only musical instrument among Taiwan’s indigenous peoples capable of producing ‘polyphonic music.’

This twin-pipe mouth flute has a wood plug-style oblique mouthpiece, which is a typical feature of the Ravar group of the Paiwan people. While this flute was made by Etan Pavavaljung, Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture has in their collection a twin-pipe nose flute made by Etan’s late beloved father, Pairang Pavavaljung. This exhibition brings the works of father and son together across time and space.
