[edit] "One piece sheng"

What does "one piece sheng" mean? I've seen this sheng and it's not in one piece; it has a gourd and about 16 bamboo pipes, each with its own bamboo reed. So it's in several pieces. Badagnani 08:17, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

The body of the sheng (the spherical and cylindrical parts, minus the reeds) was made from one piece; typically, the body was made by gluing/binding 2 separate gourd sections, since it was unlikely that gourds could be found that were naturally shaped like the sheng body.--Confuzion 02:11, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
