Too young leaves are soft and hard to pronounce; old leaves are hard and not soft in tone.

The size of the leaves also has a great relationship with the playing. Too large or too small leaves are not convenient for playing, and the pronunciation is not concentrated. Generally used leaves are 5.5 cm long and 2.2 cm wide in the middle.

The leaves are not resistant to blowing, and a leaf will become soft and tattered after blowing several times, so it can no longer be used, so the player needs to have more leaves to spare when blowing.
