Xun


2.Xun

The xun is a globular, flute-like, Chinese musical instrument. It is made of clay or ceramic, similar to an ocarina but without a fipple mouthpiece. Other Chinese flute-like instruments, such as the Wudu and Taodi, however, include a fipple.

The xun is made in several egg-shaped sizes, and is one of the oldest Chinese instruments. It has a blowing hole on top and generally eight smaller finger holes (three each for the index, middle, and ring fingers of each hand, and one for each thumb).
