The koudi (Chinese: 口笛; pinyin: kǒudí; also spelled kou di) is a very small Chinese flute made from bamboo. It was invented in 1971 by the late dizi master Yu Xunfa (俞逊发, 1946-2006).
One of the most famous compositions for koudi is YunQue (simplified Chinese: 云雀, Romanian: Ciocârlia, lit. "The Skylark"). The instrument is also used in Chinese orchestral pieces like Fei Tian.
