There are many types of xuns. In addition to the traditional oval xun, there are also many types such as gourd xun, grip xun, mandarin duck xun, Zimu xun, niutou xun, and pen holder xun.

Most of the traditional xuns are oval xuns, but now there are many kinds of gourd xuns, grip xuns, mandarin duck xuns, zimu xuns, etc. The styles are beautiful and the craftsmanship is fine.

• Gourd xun: It has a throat device and looks like a gourd. It needs to be made a second time in production, and the process is complicated. This kind of xun is the thinnest near the waist, and when the airflow passes here, it can cause the edge sound effect again, so that the sound range of the high-pitched area of the xun is properly expanded. Due to the lengthening of the xun body, it is more convenient and labor-saving to play, and the sound is softer than the traditional oval xun. The characteristics of the gourd xun: 1. The pitch range above the fundamental note (from full-press flat blowing) is expanded by a minor third; but the lower part below the fundamental pitch is reduced by a third; 2. It is more labor-saving when playing the treble area; c. Due to the throat device , the timbre of the lower range is affected.
• Grip xun: It is the xun that is played by holding it. It uses ten fingers and the base of the thumb to control the sound hole.
• Yuanyang Xun: refers to two conjoined Xuns with different pitches, opposite directions, and connected bases. There is a blow hole at each end of this xun, and the pronunciation holes of the upper and lower xun are exactly the same as the general xun. When playing, you can switch quickly as needed. The characteristics of Yuanyang Xun: rich in timbre and widened range. However, the shape is not beautiful (compared to the original Xun shape), and it is not very convenient to switch between Yuan Xun and Yuan Xun when playing. And the sound quality changes greatly, so the sound is not uniform.
• Zimuxun: refers to two conjoined xuns with different sizes, the same direction, and connected left and right. The interval relationship between the big xun and the small xun is generally a perfect fifth. Such as: big xun is G, small xun is d. It can also be combined as desired.
• Niutouxun: According to the improvement of Ningxia Hui musical instruments, it has 10 holes, the sound range is 5 bass to 2 treble, and there is a sound insulation board inside. The sound is round and rich, and the treble is easy to play.
• Bullet Xun: Feng's Tao Xun's latest patented product, with a double-chamber structure imitating the gourd Xun inside, which can be mastered at will by beginners.
• Ladies Xun: The Xun is designed with the image of ancient ladies as its theme. The Xun is mostly made of Nixing pottery, one of the four famous pottery in China, without glaze kiln.
• Pen holder xun: named after the appearance of the pen holder. The most common ones are gourd xun, ox head xun, bullet xun, pen holder xun and oval xun. Others are rare.
• Pear-shaped Xun: It looks like a pear, the most classic one. Generally single cavity, 8 holes and 9 holes are mostly. The sound resonates well and blows well.
