The piri is a Korean double reed instrument, used in both the folk and classical (court) music of Korea. It is made of bamboo. Its large reed and cylindrical bore gives it a sound mellower than that of many other types of oboe.
There are four types of piri:
- Hyang piri (hangul: 향피리; hanja: 鄕觱篥)
- Se piri (hangul: 세피리; hanja: 細觱篥)
- Dang piri (hangul: 당피리; hanja: 唐觱篥)
- Dae piri (대피리)
The piri's equivalent in China is the guan (also known as bili), and its counterpart in Japan is the hichiriki.
