This sarunei comes from the Simalungun-Batak region (east of Lake Toba). It has a slender, slightly conical body made of a type of maple (juhar) that ends in a barrel-shaped bamboo funnel. The instrument has six frontal tone holes and a thumb hole between the first and second tone hole. There are two metal rings at the top of the body and funnel. The lead pipe support has a slightly curved round lip disc made of coconut. The small, simple mouthpiece made of palm leaf (anak ni sarunei = child of the sarunei) is attached to a small, short quill.
