Discography
It has a conical bore and is similar in construction and sound to the Chinese suona and the Korean taepyeongso, however, its musical context is most comparable to that of the Pi Mon, as it is typically used to perform music for funeral processions. This instrument may also be called "Kèn Hiếu" in certain contexts.
