This instrument is smaller than T'ungso (vertical flute) and has a hole in the rear side and four holes in front side. Along with Yanggeum (a kind of sting instrument), the instrument was not mentioned in the book and from this fact, we know that it was introduced to Korea in the later of the Chosun dynasty. It plays accompanying Youngsan-hoe-sang, a piece dedicated to the Buddha's sermon on the mount or lyric songs. Due to its clean and graceful sound, it has widely used as solo instrument. It also plays in ensemble with Saenghwang or in trio with Yangkeum and Haegeum. With saeghwang or yanggeum, which has the same timbre, it played side by side with them. In Se-ak or Jul-Poongryu like Youngsang Hoisang and lyric songs like Gagok, Ga-sa, Sijo (traditional Korean poetry), it plays as an accompaniment.
