Description: | Duct flute. The bamboo pipe has a single opened out node near the distal end. There are six round finger holes and no thumbhole. The holes are not positioned in a straight line. The rectangular mouth or window has a bevelled lower edge. The block is 15 mm long and is positioned 19 mm into the pipe, although it is loose. A crack runs the full length of the back, and by way of repair, the body has been tied together at both ends with string.
