These are long flutes made from the neck of the hue, with two small wenewene. This instrument has the ability to jump between two sound pitches, hence its name Oro= sound  rua rangi= two tunes.

Hue can be carved or painted in beautiful kowhaiwhai patterns and can be decorated with feathers and harakeke.
