排灣族圓孔雙管鼻笛Lalingdan、口笛Pakulalu保存者-謝水能藝師

奉屏東縣政府2010年6月30日屏府文藝字第0990159236號函，公告增列謝水能先生為屏東縣傳統藝術--排灣族口鼻笛保存者，謝水能正式成為本縣藝師。2011年3月，謝水能被遴選為行政院原住民族委員會第三屆原住民藝術工作者駐村計畫音樂表演類之駐村藝術家。2011年9月14日入選民國100年度文建會指定的「重要傳統藝術保存者」（即俗稱的人間國寶），曹縣長頒發紀念品表彰其成就。
排灣族雙管鼻笛Lalingdan源自於百步蛇(kamavanan)，它是Piyuma部落的守護神。傳說中，百步蛇是代表物產豐富、多產的神明，每年部落村民期待百步蛇今年發出聲音的位置，百步蛇的聲音代表今年部落是否生活平順穩定、物產豐盛。在古早部落的生活型態中，生越多孩子代表越豐盛，因先祖以農業、狩獵為主，人丁興旺帶來更多的人力，因此他們相信百步蛇必帶給部落年年的豐收。
