It is made of [[bamboo]]. Its large reed and [[Bore (wind instruments)#Cylindrical bore|cylindrical bore]] gives it a sound mellower than that of many other types of oboe. There are four types of ''piri'': #'''Hyang piri''' (hangul: {{lang|ko-Hang|향피리}}; hanja: {{lang|ko-Hani|[[wikt:鄕|鄕]][[wiktionary:觱|觱]][[wiktionary:篥|篥]]}}) #'''Se piri''' (hangul: {{lang|ko-Hang|세피리}}; hanja: {{lang|ko-Hani|[[wikt:細|細]][[wiktionary:觱|觱]][[wiktionary:篥|篥]]}}) #'''Dang piri''' (hangul: {{lang|ko-Hang|당피리}}; hanja: {{lang|ko-Hani|[[wikt:唐|唐]][[wiktionary:觱|觱]][[wiktionary:篥|篥]]}}) #'''Dae piri''' ({{lang|ko-Hang|대피리}})<!--Is this a legit instrument? I can't find hanja for this or many websites.--><!--This dictionary <http://korean.go.kr/08_new/dic/search.jsp?att1=대피리> says it is a word incorrectly used for hyangpiri. --><!--Thanks, I think it may also be the North Korean name for the "modernized" piri with added keys, like those of a Western clarinet.--> The piri's equivalent in China is the ''[[guan (instrument)|guan]]'' (also known as ''bili''), and its counterpart in Japan is the ''[[hichiriki]]''. ==See also== *[[Traditional Korean musical instruments]] {{Doublereed}} [[Category:Korean musical instruments]] [[Category:Single oboes with cylindrical bore]] {{woodwind-instrument-stub}} {{Korea-stub}} [[de:Piri (Musikinstrument)]] [[nl:Piri]] [[fi:Piri (soitin)]]
