Virtual Chinese Xun Instrument

A Xun is a wind instrument with a deep sound that has a history of about seven thousand years. The earliest discoveries can be found in many archaeological sites, such as the Hemudu site, the Zhaobaogou relics, and the Banpo settlement.

The Xun usually has an egg or pear-shaped body made of ceramic, with a blowhole on the top and several finger holes along one side. Xun is belongs to a group of ritual instruments from ancient times. However, its use was discontinued due to turmoils in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In the 1980s, Xun playing was revived by archaeologists and artists, and nowadays it is often used in historical themes with dark scenarios.

Features Overview
