In the Hakka Bayin musical repertoire, the xian-suo type most often came from folk songs, ballades or traditional operas. But the most prominent character of Bayin instrumental music lies in the musician's individual interpretation skills and capacity. The leading suona player, with his or her maneuver of mouth and finger, can turn the loud and metallic sound of suona into a style that is mellow with flowing rhythms. The Bayin-ize technique is one particular feature of Hakka Bayin troupes.
Auntie Wang, A Lass of Sixteen, and An Early Morning arre folk songs from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. They were adapted into orchestral pieces, with suona playing the theme, accompanied by Chinese flute.
