for the town see Koudi, Central African Republic

A koudi. The large hole in the middle is the blowing hole, and the three smaller holes on the top are finger holes. The two open ends of the tube are also used, played with the thumbs.

The koudi (Chinese: 口笛; pinyin: kǒudí; also spelled kou di) is a very small Chinese flute made from bamboo. It was invented in 1971 by the late dizi master Yu Xunfa (俞逊发, 1946-2006).

One of the most famous compositions for koudi is YunQue (Chinese: 云雀; pinyin: Yún Què, Romanian: Ciocârlia, lit. "The Skylark"). The instrument is also used in Chinese orchestral pieces like Fei Tian.
