Kèn dám ma

The conical oboe instruments of Vietnam have seven frontal tone holes and a thumb hole between the first and second tone hole. In the shape of the body, the metal funnel and the decorated reed holder, the Kèn dám ma resembles the Chinese so-na. The word dám ma means 'burial' and refers to the use of this instrument. The wood of the body is red-brown in colour.
