Bouchons are mostly used in warm celebrations. When hunting big beasts, they usually hit the big Bun with their mouths up, and when they hunt small beasts, they hit the little Buns with their mouths down. These bamboo slips are struck with hardwood sticks, and generally do not have a fixed pitch. The performance is usually performed in groups, and at least two people are required to strike together.
