This “Ju-ne” made from woods is the only one in the world. Please experience the impressive sounds, and find the one fit your gentle breath and feel the comfortable touching.

Bird Chirping

“Ju-ne” has six holes and in depends on finger work, it can make 15 different sounds in total, C to D of C major scale.
Also, it has two different types of range such as “ Soprano”and “Baritone”.
“Soprano” has sound like the birds singing, and “Baritone” has one octave low deep sound.
