*''Japanese'': 篳篥 ''(hichiriki)''
The ''hichiriki'' is a type of Japanese flute used typically in ''[[gagaku]]'' (classical court music) and ''[[bugaku]]'' (classical court dance). It is typically made of bamboo, with a double reed, and seven holes on one side, with two on the reverse.
Sometimes classified as a [[suona|shawm]], the ''hichiriki'' is said to have "an unusual reverse conical bore which narrows at the open end." It is used in both ''gagaku'' and ''bugaku'' to play the melody lines alongside the ''[[ryuteki|ryûteki]]''.
