Is this a fully functional concert performance instrument?

You can control pitch like you can with an ocarina by adjusting your breath support. It is possible that you might run into pitch issues depending on manufacturing processes. These instructions were primitive early instruments so they only have about an octave range similar to an ocarina

Is it really only 10cm tall?

That is correct. It's not big, but the sound is bigger than you would think.

Since it is made from a porus clay you don't really need to clean it but if you would like to clean it when you first get it. I would cover all the holes and fill it with warm soapy water. Give it a few shakes, uncover the holes and shake out the water and rinse with warm water and repeat till water runs clear. A side note there is an upper chamber and a lower chamber so depending on how the chamber is designed it could also be best to submerge in soapy water then rinse with water. You should not have to do this often except for the first time you get it. These are like ocarinas and that they don't really require that much cleaning maint.

Is it possible to have the instructions in english...here or anywhere

I would suggest putting the directions in Google translator as I have yet to find directions in english

Love this insturment. My only complaint if it is a complaint is that not much is printed on how to play it. It does take some research to find fi Geri g charts and if you want to play Xun you will have to learn chinese music tabs. But you can use regular western music just have to know the musical range of the Xun. The Xun has a range similar to the ocarina about an octave. But if u have the time to learn is a fun little instirment to play and it comes with a stand so it works as a decoration as well.

I own two other xun that I bought from China in two different brands, both around $50-$80 price range. I ordered this because during the quarantine time I was super bored and with nothing to do and I miss my xun. Plus this is a new brand that I want to try out its quality compare the other two I have. I was very excited to receive this, however, the quality of this product is very disappointing. First, the product doesn't have the quality touch feeling the other two brands has. I don't know what they add as coating, but that doesn't feel nature to me. Then to clean, I wiped it with paper towels. and the colors came off!I blowed it for a few mins, and my lips ended up getting black due to the color fall off from this xun! So ridiculous! This never happen to my other xun. I also tried to clean the inside using a wet Q tip, and THERE ARE FLAKES came off from inside inside. It literally just fell off! I was shocked when I see that. I'm just going to return this. The two stars I gave one is for packaging and the other is for good tuning. If you never tried xun before, I wouldn't recommend this. If you do own some xun like me, I thin you are going to return this.
