Description A piece of bamboo with the fair space of joints is cut and left to dry. The bamboo is split at the middle and three small bamboos with different lengths are inserted through it. Then, the split space is covered with iron sheet and sealed. The melodic sounds are made with it by blowing into the mouth-hole opening and closing alternatively on the finger holes. It's usually blown when the bachelors are courting the maids. The married men are restricted to blow it. -6 inches in length
