BUNKAKA OR BILBIL - is a
bamboo musical instruments
used by the Tinguians. It is a
two-proged bamboo struck
against the palm of one hand.
SULING (banded flute) Mostly, suling is made of 'tamiang' bamboo a long tube
bamboo which has very thin surface. The head of suling, near a small hole, is
circled with a thin-band made of rattan or rotan to produce air vibration.
PAGANG - The skin of a single node of bamboo is raised. The strings are raised
with frets underneath. A ring of woven bamboo strips is placed at the end of
the bamboo node to keep the strings from further stripping. There is a crack on
one side of the bamboo to allow the sound to vibrate along the length of the
instrument. It is played by plucking the strings.
