Bitu-uvu

Bitu-uvu *cross flute of the Fiji Islands, made of a bamboo internode, stopped at both ends. The tube is pierced with 7 holes: a blowhole near each end; 3 holes around the circumference of the center, and a hole between these and each blowhole, at, respectively, the first and third quarters of the tube's length. Judging by its similarity to the fango-fango, it was probably also played as a nose flute. Cf. mbitu-uvu (132). Mahillon, Victor. Catalogue descriptif et analytique du Musée…
