The Nokan is a high pitched, Japanese transverse flute or fue/ Yokobue.
It is commonly used in traditional Imperial Noh and Kabuki theatre.
The nohkan flute was created by Kan'ami and his son Zeami in the 15th century, during the time when the two were transforming the Noh theatre forms Dengaku and Sarugaku.
The Nokan is an average length of 40 cm and there are 7 finger holes.
The nohkan has an unusual internal bore restriction of about 2–3 mm called a nodo "throat".
This throat, combined with the conical bore, gives the nohkan its unique high pitched sound by shifting the overblown register notes via a venturi effect.
It also has an oval embouchure hole across which the player blows, and a head joint plug consisting of a lead cylinder wrapped in paper and wax and placed inside the tube just above the embouchure hole.
The nohkan plays a strong high pitch "hishigi" that is rich with high frequency harmonics.
The range of the flute is over two octaves. Each flute is traditionally an individual and made a bit differently each time by the maker-player, the keynote frequency varies from flute to flute.
