Noses aren't just for smelling things. You can also use them to make beautiful music!
Playing the flute with one's nose is more common than you might think. People all over the world make special flutes that are meant to be played with the nose. Right here in Taiwan, the Ami people make a special nose flute called a "biti."
People in Hawaii also make a special nose flute. They consider their mouths to be dirty because they use them to eat, but they think that their noses are clean. They also think that their noses are where their souls go in and out of their bodies. Because of this, they think that the music that is played with a nose flute is better than the music played with a regular flute. (Marc Langer, staff Writer)

鼻子不只用來聞東西而已，你也可以用鼻子來吹奏美妙的音樂！
用鼻子吹笛子比你所想的更普遍。世界各地都有人製造專門用鼻子吹的特別笛子。像是台灣的阿美族就製造了一種名為「鼻笛」的特殊笛子。
夏威夷人也製造了一種獨特的鼻笛。他們認為嘴巴是用來吃東西的，很髒，但鼻子卻很乾淨。他們也認為鼻子是靈魂進出身體之處。因此，他們認為用鼻笛吹出的音樂比一般笛子吹奏的更美妙。
