The small, conically drilled body of this taepyong-so is made of dark red stained softwood, the short, protruding bell is made of tinplate. The instrument has seven frontal tone holes and a protruding thumb hole. The upper end of the body is reinforced with a tinplate spout. An attachment decorated with two spheres and bordered by two small plates is inserted into this spout and serves as a pipe support. This attachment, which corresponds to that of the Chinese So-na, was made of brass, as was the attached lip disc.
