Hi all,

Some of you are interested in nan xiao especially tang style mouth piece. Not all of us can afford gold standard winson xiao. I bought some wood xiao from this master in Viet Nam 3-5 years old. He has 40-50 years experience. I can play his xiao in the third octave. The third octave is not very easy to play. I recently heard from him that he recently make improvement so the xiao is more sensitive and easier to play in high note. He can make xiao that play in the 4 octave. Play the 4 C for the F key. Check out his video and judge for yourself. He can make long/north xiao, nan xiao, U or tang mouth piece and wood or bamboo. He can make xiao with tuning holes near the end or without tuning hole like the shakuhachi. The price is good and his wood xiao is high quality. I have them for 5 years without cracking and they are 1 piece xiao.

Interesting. Noticed the first video says testing of shakuhachi but the flute body looked narrow and unlike the usual large diameter body of a shakuhachi. It seems 8 holed and blowing edge looked like U. The video wasn’t sharp so I could be mistaken.

I think the sound is from a shakuhachi style mouthpiece. It is a xiao with a shakuhachi mouthpiece. It is a longer xiao. I have one of this. My is 71 cm long. For the F key xiao you can have it anywhere between 62-91 cm long. If it is shorter then it will be fatter.

He has a facebook, but he doesn't speak english. It is in Vietnamese unfortunately. I think his price range anywhere between $100 USD to $350 USD depend on the quality and whether it is bamboo or wood. Here is his facebook vi-vn.facebook.com/saotructhayHoBang
I order a good amount of wood dizi and xiao from him a few years ago. Maybe I should set up as his distributor if there are a number of interest.
