By "Hun." "The hun is a Korean [ocarina] made of baked [clay] or [ceramic]. It is globular shape, with a blowing hole on top and several finger holes. It is used primarily in [court music] ensembles, although in the late 20th century some contemporary Korean composers began to use it in their compositions and film scores." "The hun is derived from the Chinese [xun], one of the oldest Chinese instruments. In Japan, the equivalent instrument is called [tsuchibue] (lit. "Japanese clay flute"). http://en.mobile.wikipedia.org/transcode.php?go=Hun%20(instrument)&PHPSESSID=784d0f226969efc643af3216891030ec "According to the Popol Vuh, Hun-Hunahpu 'One-Hunahpu' (a calendrical name) is the father of the Maya hero twins, Hunahpu and Ixbalanque. As their shared calendrical day name suggests, however, he is first and foremost the father of Hunahpu." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hun_Hunahpu Dec 22 08, 12:51 PM
