*''Chinese'': 管子 ''(guǎnzǐ)''
The ''guǎnzǐ'' is an ancient type of Chinese flute, consisting of a simple cylindrical construction with a double-reed. Though often replaced in ensembles today by the saxophone, it produces a much wider melodic range than the otherwise somewhat similar double-reed ''[[suona]]''.
Traditionally, the ''guǎnzǐ'' was played in folk music and regional opera forms, as well as at specific occasions such as funerals and weddings.
