This instrument is made of the thin bamboo. That bamboo can be got from a long distance. The bamboo is cut as needed and bored holes. It is learnt that a bamboo is cut only for getting one oboe (Hne). Now, it is very difficult to get long bamboo and so they use water pipe. It is known that the horn has been made of fire gourd before. This instrument which is Bass instrument, can be played together with Kayans’ traditional instruments on the occasions of the wedding and funfairs. Since yore, this oboe (Hne) has been preserved and handed down from generation to generation as a traditional heritage. There is no exact record in what year and era it appeared.
