Taepyeongso

The taepyeongso is a Korean double reed wind instrument, also called saenap, hojeok, or nallari. The loud and piercing sound it produces has kept it confined mostly to Korean folk music (especially "farmer's band music") and to marching bands, the latter performed for royalty in the genre known as daechwita. The taepyeongso has a conical wooden body with cup-shaped metal bell and a metal mouthpiece. There are seven fingerholes on the front and one in the back. In the past, reeds were made of the stem of river reeds (galdae) hollowed out, repeatedly steamed and dried, sanded down and shaped, and bound at the bottom with thread to hold it firmly to the mouthpiece. Today, most players use pieces of plastic drinking straws.
