About yu
The yu is a free reed wind instrument used in ancient China. It is similar to the sheng, with multiple bamboo pipes fixed in a wind chest which may be made out of bamboo, wood, or a gourd. Each pipe contains a free reed, which is also made of bamboo. Whereas the sheng is used to provide simultaneous tones in harmony, the yu is played in single lines melodically. The instrument was used, often in large numbers, in court orchestras of ancient China but is no longer used.
