Philippines

In the Philippines the pitungilong (flute nose in Tagalog) or 'Kaleleng' of the northern Bontok people, is played with the extreme forward edge of the nostril. Because the Kaleleng is long, and has a narrow internal diameter, it is easy to play different harmonics through overblowing, even with the rather weak force of the air from one nostril. Finger holes in the side of the tube change the operating length, giving various scales. Some players take a filter tip from a cigarette and plug the other unused nostril to increase the force of their breath through the flute. Two unlit filtered cigarettes. ...

Due to the large interior diameter of other nose flutes, the range is only in one octave and in the playing position, the player closes the unused nostril with his, or her thumb.

New Zealand/Māori

In New Zealand the Māori had no naturally occurring native bamboo, so their nose flutes were carved from a soft stone similar to soapstone. If a gourd is used, it is the neck of the gourd, cut open to a small diameter, that is used for the nose hole with side finger holes drilled in the bowl of the gourd to vary the pitch of the instrument.

Humanatone

The Humanatone nose flute, is a musical novelty, a sort of plastic shield, held under the nose, that directs the player's breath through a whistle slot, lying over the mouth opening, acting as a resonator. The tones produced, are varied by changing the shape of the player's mouth cavity with different vowel and consonant formations. This is in the same manner as the Jaw harp or "Trump" is played.

Newark

The Newark nose flute is considered to have medicinal healing properties. It has been used to treat everything from athlete's foot to the common cold. Unlike other nose flutes, the "Nark", as it is often colloquially referenced, has a mucus chamber that gives the notes it produces a low, warm sonority.
