SEPIRI(KOREAN TRADITIONALBAMBOO REED FLUTE) WITH HARD CASEThe piri is made of bamboo and was introduced to Korea from the Middle East. The piri produces a wide range of pitches and is known for its soulful sound, making it a key instrument in a variety of pieces. It is most often used to play the main melody in ritual music, court music, and folk music. Types of piri vary based on the type of bamboo used in crafting the instrument and the thickness of the finished product. Piri fall into these main categories: hyang piri, dang piri, and se piri. The dang piri, which is known for its volume, is played in royal court music and Jongmyo Jerye rite music.Piri is thought to have been introduced to Korea from a country bordering west of China before Goguryeo period.According to Suseo, piri was also known as gagwan, and it originates from Kucha. During the reign of King Yejong of Goryeo dynasty, another double-reed cylindrical instrument was imported from Song dynasty China, and to disambiguate, the former was named hyang piri and the latter dang piri. Se piri is smaller than hyang piri but has the same structure and range. Se piri appears to be invented much later than hyang piri.
The piri\'s equivalent in China is the guan (also known as bili), and its counterpart in Japan is the hichiriki.
