a. Distal end open and obliquely truncate, proximal end 

 closed by the natural septum, the bamboo not projecting- much 

 beyond it. The wail of the bamboo distad of the septum is 

 obliquely sliced on one side and in the exposed surface the 

 sound-hole is bored : between the sound-hole and the proximal 

 ends the wall of the bamboo is shaved down and one side (that 

 corresponding with the sound-hole) is cut flat ; over this portion 

 of the flageolet a r;ng of bamboo (bak) is fitted. On the side 

 opposite the sound-hole are five stops bored with a red-hot 

 iron in a flattened strip formed by cutting away the cuticle of 

 the bamboo ; the distances between the stops range from 

 2-3 centim to 3-7 centim., the uppermost is 19 centim. from the 

 sound-hole. This form of flageolet is known as laki, i. e. male, 

 it is played in the same way as the banchi, with the sound-hole 

 downwards. Total length 43 cm.
