The sound tube was sealed and fixed with beeswax. The thick and long sound tube is the main tube, the length of the tube is 25 cm to 37 cm, and the diameter of the tube is about 1.5 cm. ; The thin and short auxiliary pipe is only inlaid with reeds, without opening the sound hole, and can only emit a barrel sound, and is equipped with a piston.
