Ancient Chinese Instrument: the Xun Unboxing and Review | 7000 Year Old Instrument!

[@dougemt123]

A friend gave me hers tonight, that she bought in China. She was never able to make a sound with it and saw I enjoy trying different instruments. I also am not proficient in any one instrument, but have fun with the challenge of learning them. Keep smiling!

Thank you so much for showcasing the xun! I've loved it ever since I first saw and heard it in Totoro (When Totoro, Mei and Setsuki are in the treetops) and did some research as to what it could be that they were playing.

I think the panflute is a great instrument. I think it would be cool for you to make a video about it

[@Vxlde]

I stumbled upon this channel by pure chance, I am so glad I found it because your smile is so genuine I can feel it in my soul. And I totally agree that everyone should enjoy music! You definitely do inspire with your videos ❤

Hé Molly, that so fun to hear you about the Xun. I recieved one as a gift, last year when I order my first tongue drum, but I thought that was decoration (no to play , juste look at). I will ttry to play the Xun now.. LOL Sorry my english is poor. Sonia from France

I bought one exactly the same and call it my egg😅 it took me forever to even get some kind of sound out of it, but I got there 😂🤣 I read somewhere they used to be used in imperial courts, to play laments for fallen warriors. There is a xun player in KZbin xun wuxin , if anyone is interested. I really like the history behind musical instruments too, there are a lot of non standard instruments, from all over the world, that produce amazing sounds. Molly, keep showing us these great finds!

With practice that could sound wonderfully peaceful.

It does and sounds deeply sad .

very nice, but you should have gone all out and order a 10 finger xun flute, more notes, more keys.

[@Kalimbasound]

Hello, my first xun arrived yesterday. When ordering, I chose the G key. I thought I will get a low G(Sol) , but with all the holes closed, the sound is re (D) Soo i don't understand - is it a mistake of xun maker or i dont know much about xuns? Then what should be the letter on the Xun so that with all the holes closed there would be the sound of low G ?

[@valaus2065]

so the xuns of amazon are goods instruments?

What the best key for my first one?

[@MrSzmilan]

I love your laughter :)

[@tanyabrown9839]

I just learnt about this instrument and felt excited watching your unboxing :) . Imperial City Ocarina has made a dragon themed Xun which I'm really wanting to buy.

[@anima9618]

Thanks for your beautiful smile and energy!🎉

[@impurfekt]

Thank you very much for this unboxing and review. I bought one of these to replace a xun which won't hit high notes. I'm looking forward to playing it.

[@Geohara]

My gran in HK just sent me one of these. I'm very glad yours was the first video i found on it. Your happiness and laughter is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@therapist_the_j]

Thank you for explaining with a smile^^ It's an interesting instrument~

[@Hari2897]

You are absolutely amazing! Such a charming personality 🥰

[@chrismills2012]

have you ever heard of another instrument called a Gemshorn?

[@taisonlaw]

Remember this Instrumen can not wash by water.

[@Iceland874]

Are the holes small? I got a ceramic ocarina and the holes are too big for me to cover. I’ve been wanting a xun.

[@latonyamitchell4507]

Thank you! I love it 🤩❤️

[@JasminAlvarez1]

Cool! :-)

[@KimSenior]

I can’t play an instrument but I’ve just ordered one & I’m going to give it a try. If I fail it will make a nice ornament.😜

[@abriblack8870]

How can i get one

[@KimSenior]

@@abriblack8870 Do a Google search like I did, Amazon sell them but I don’t like lining Jeff Bezoz’s pockets.
