Amazing stuff!
"Bone flutes from the Neolithic period are the oldest known Chinese musical instrument relics. This rare surviving specimen, crafted from a vulture wing bone, closely resembles examples associated with the Xinglongwa culture of northeast China, which dates back approximately eight thousand years.
Sound tests conducted on replicas of similar five-holed flutes have shown that they can produce a series of five tones within a single octave. Although their exact function remains unknown, these flutes were likely used in ceremonies or for personal expression, suggesting that music was already a part of human life at the dawn of civilization."
