All of our xun are now available as 11-hole instruments, with a subhole added at the RH middle finger position. Despite the photos showing a 10-hole instrument, the 11-hole configuration is now our standard. This 11-hole configuration provides fingerings for all accidentals and thus no half-covering of toneholes is required (as with traditional xun). Of course, if you'd prefer a 10-hole instrument, let us know and we can do that for you.
The bass xun BG can also be ordered in the dragon styling (see our Dragon Xun BC). Price is $94.95
