information on the hawaiian nose flute?!!?

Here the f'ohe hano ihu which in Hawaiian means "bamboo, breath, nose." It is made from a single bamboo node with a hole at the node area for the breath, and three holes for the notes, on the top side of the tube. It was often used in conjunction with chants and song. The Hawaiians believe that the nose is pure and innocent, unlike the mouth which can say many things. So the breath entering and exiting the 'ohe hano ihu is purer than the mouth. In olden days a man would serenade his sweetheart with the nose flute in order to woo her heart and win her affections

The Ohe Hano Ihu is a three-holed nose flute from Hawaii. It is made from a much wider diameter of bamboo than those found in South East Asia. This is a very beautiful instrument although it is capable of only one octave. Like most nose flutes it was traditionally used between lovers. The ohe hano ihu is almost identical in construction to the nose flutes of other Pacific islands such as Tongo and the Marshall Islands were it was also used to calm the nerves of someone getting a tattoo. The ohe hano ihu is undergoing a revival and many professional musicians are taking an interest in the instrument again. It is one of the few nose flutes that can be purchased easily online
