Description: | xun music study group
The hun is a traditional instrument of Korea, although it probably originated in China. It is used in Buddhist ceremonies honouring Confucius as part of the ritual music known as aak. In these ceremonies, the hun plays very slow melodies, in which each note ends with an upwards glissando, as the player slides his fingers from the holes. This example was acquired from the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts in Seoul.
Hun, vessel flute. The hollow egg-shaped earthenware vessel has a green crackled glaze. There is a large round mouth hole at the apex and five smaller finger holes around the sides. Four characters are inscribed in black on the surface towards the base. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | vessel flutes huns ceramic | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-115558 |
