Bawu (G) - Traditional Chinese Flute - Bamboo - High Quality
The Bawu is an easy to play traditional Chinese flute. The tone reminds us of the western Clarinet. This Bawu flute is made out of high quality bamboo. The side-blown version of this flute is held horizontally, like a western flute. The blowing is much more simple though.
The End-blown Bawu comes with a protective leather bag.
