Description |
The ancestors came to settle at farms, building bamboo shacks as their crops thrived. They noticed a pleasant sound when the air blew into the hole of the bamboo. Then, they made a flute to produce that sound. As they found out that the sound of one-hole flute frightened the parrots which destroyed the crops, they expanded the holes to six. After cutting Marfule bamboo in desired measure, it's bored the holes with a heated sharp iron including six finger holes and one mouth-hole. A cloth or paper stopper is put into the flute. Blow at the mouth-hole maneuvering the finger holes with the fingers. The traditional and other melodies can be blown with it.
