Xiao, made of bamboo, notched Chinese flute.

Served as a model for the Japanese Shakuhachi.

Blown through a notch at the top of the pipe.

Thanks to the slightly different shape of the blowing notch, the sound can remain a little more stable than with the Japanese version.

Their sound is very soft, deep and reserved.

It was originally used by Buddhist monks as a meditation instrument before arriving in Japan around 500 years ago.
