The top is equipped with double reeds made of reeds, which are connected with the wooden pipe body through a copper core or a silver core, and the lower end is sleeved with a copper bowl. There are also semitone keys and treble keys to add keys to the suona, which expands the range and increases the expressive force of the instrument.
