Taepyongso
is a wood- wind made of citron or jujube tree, covered by a piece of copper plate at the bottom. Reed
is used for blowing, and the 46
centimeter instrument has 7 tone holes in the front, and
1 in the
back. Taepyongso is the only instrument for melody in military march or
farmers music. Although it produces strong sound, because its
tones are hard to control, and its timbre too loud, the instrument
cannot be properly user in an orchestra.
