High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The yu was a free reed wind instrument used in ancient China. It was similar to the sheng, with multiple bamboo pipes fixed in a wind chest which may have been made of bamboo, wood, or gourd. Each pipe contained a free reed, which was also made of bamboo. Whereas the sheng was used to provide harmony (in fourths and fifths), the yu was played melodically. The instrument was used, often in large numbers, in the court orchestras of ancient China (and also imported to Korea and Japan) but is no longer used. The Yu was named after Emperor Ching Yu. He liked music so he decided to create an instrument. It was quite popular at that time, but after another emperor took over, its popularity slowly decreased. Not many people today know how to play the Yu.
