The '''piri''' is a Korean [[double reed]] instrument, used in both the folk and classical (court) [[music of Korea]]. 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]]''.
