Two stringing holes. The main tone pipe is fitted with a metal reed at the top, which is inserted into the gourd, and its end is fitted with a soft stopper.
There is no hole for the secondary main tone pipe, so one end of the reed-equipped secondary tone pipe is inserted into the left or right side of the main tone pipe of the gourd. When the gourd silk is being played, if the soft stopper at the bottom of the secondary tone pipe is taken out, the tone of the reed-equipped secondary tone will sound with the main tone, but the tone of the secondary tone can only be sent out in one tone.
