All of our xun are now available as an 11-hole instruments, with a subhole added at the RH middle finger position. This 11-hole configuration provides fingerings for all accidentals and thus no half-covering of a tonehole is required (as with traditional xun). Of course, let us know if you'd prefer a 10-hole instrument instead.
This xun is also available as an alto instrument in the key of F. That is, it is keyed to play 5 notes higher than the Xun AD.
