The hulusi is a Chinese end-blown free-reed pipe with a gourd wind chamber. It originally came from the Dai-zu or Dai (Thai) people of southern China. The hulusi usually consists of three bamboo pipes – one melody pipe with finger holes and two drone pipes that are often tuned to an octave and a fifth.

The sound of the hulusi is hauntingly beautiful, but fairly soft. The Dai men would play it to express their love to women, while others often played the hulusi in the fields when taking a break from planting or harvesting. The instrument achieves expressiveness through its vibrato technique.
