The xun is a vessel flute that’s been around in China for about 7,000 years. It’s egg-shaped, with holes in front and back for fingers and thumbs. It was used mainly in palace music, and its sound is associated with ladies in sorrow. Listen up:
I am the bestselling author of eight novels, including the Swiss Chocolate trilogy and VILLA DEL SOL, which won the 2018 Book Award in Literary Fiction from the Independent Publishers of New England.
My newest novel, APRIL IN GALWAY, releases 29 November 2018.

Yes, I was sure it would be xylophone. Spotted two xylophone posts in my feed this morning and was surprised neither was you. The xun is nice and gentle on the ears (unlike yesterday!)
LOL you had me on this one. I thought it would be an Xylophone too!

Not as xylophone. Had no idea there was another instrument starting with X.

It makes a good sound and looks rather like an ocarina. Sue
