Piri

The piri is a Korean double reed instrument, used in both the folk and classical (court) music of Korea. It is made of bamboo. Its large reed and cylindrical bore gives it a sound mellower than that of many other types of oboe. In the typical piri, there are eight finger holes on the bamboo body. Seven of the finger holes are on the front and one is on the back for the thumb. There are four types of piri: 1. * Hyang piri (hangul: 향피리; hanja: 鄕--) 2. * Se piri (hangul: 세피리; hanja: 細--) 3. * Dang piri (hangul: 당피리; hanja: 唐--) 4. * Dae piri (대피리)
