The flute is made of a bamboo tube, which is longer than the flute. There are bamboo joints at the upper end, and the lower end and the inside of the tube are hollow. In the middle of the flute, there are five sound holes on the front and one sound hole on the back. The two round holes on the back of the lower end of the tube are sound holes, which can be used for tuning.
The two round holes below the sound hole are sound holes, which beautify the sound and increase the volume, and can also be used to tie the flute ears for decoration.
