One of the earliest instruments in China.

Mostly used for court music after the Han dynasty till modern days.

As time passes, Xun evolves into a mature instrument capable of performing on its own.

Xun has a very unique errie sound character that can be fitted for filmic scoring.

A famous Tang essay praised Xun: “How great Xun is! It’s so elegant, so balanced, so natural and so thick.

No wonder the sages would love it.
