serunai

…It is a wooden wind instrument that produces sound with a double reed and has conical holes. Most of them basically have the same structure with seven holes on the front and one on the back, but there are subtle differences in the name, size, material, etc. depending on the culture. The Persian name means "flute for festivals" and some names are derived from Persian, such as zurna in Turkey, shahnāi in North India, and serunai in Indonesia, while some names are far removed from Persian, such as gyaling in Tibet and pi in Thailand. It was introduced to China during the Ming Dynasty and was called sona or suona, and written as 鐶 or 鐶, and during the Qing Dynasty it was also written as 痩吶 or 爾名. …
