Sao truc (bamboo flute)

Sao truc, the bamboo flute, is made from a stem of fine bamboo pierced with finger holes.
The bamboo flute has long been attached to the cultural and spiritual life of the Vietnamese. It can be said that the bamboo flute contains the musical essence of the Vietnamese countryside together with the four tranquil seasons. Vietnamese people used to play Sao Truc on the fields when taking a rest, or even at nights before going to bed.
