The Xun(埙) is a Chinese vessel flute made of clay or ceramic. It is one of the oldest Chinese instruments. The earliest xun found was about 6700 years ago.The xun is made in several sizes and is in the shape of an egg. It has a blowing hole on top and generally eight smaller finger holes (mine has 10 finger-holes)
It's different from Ocorina which is a whistle.
