[Solved] Traditional Filipino Instruments/Music

Cordillera Musical Instruments

Bungkaka (or Balingbing)
]

Pateteg (?) (Horizontal bamboo drum)
Tongatong (bamboo instrument pounded vertically to the ground)
Patangguk (similar to a Bungkaka except the slit end has only one side, and it's struck on a short stick)
Bungkaka (or Balingbing), notice the slit end has both sides, and the instrument is normally struck on your hand or a part of your body
Saggeypo (a type of flute, but your lips don't actually touch (or barely touch) the instrument

The kid is annoying, but the video does a good job explaining many of the instruments

I don't have actual info on Manobo's instrument, but if you look at the design I wouldn't say it's farfetch.

Here's the bamboo zither elsewhere in insular SEAsia. Unlike the Filipino version, theirs (Bornean tube zither) is bigger and uses two sticks.

Here's a sesando from Timor, it also uses wooden concave to channel the sounds.

HOWEVER, this particular 'instrument' was supposedly created so....:

"Caleb had a dream in which he gave an unique musical instrument to the Tinananon Manobos. The dream was so clear that Caleb was able in three months to build that instrument. In a back of a jeepney carrying pastors to a meeting, one man kept staring at Caleb, trying to remember when he had seen him before. Then he realized he had seen Caleb in a dream 3 years earlier...& this missionary worked with him. Last month, together they took that
instrument to a Tinananon Chief—who was stunned by it. He took Caleb into the music room where there was an empty spot for their Salimbaa this instrument they’d lost 100 years ago."

-roflmao2

But it's possible he researched it or heard about it and did a close reconstruction (or the actual person that build it was that 'native missionary' who actually conceptualized most of it) then saying he heard God tell him so...but so far I'm hearing = -lmao White people's God complex.

I honestly don't know lol. I've never played any wind instruments except to mess around with a harmonica that my grandpa had when I was 5 or so.

But if you think about it, the only 'advantage' I could see is that you can breath simultaneously (through the mouth and out the nose) so you can continuously do so with practice. Only thing is that I would assume you'd need 'more' lung effort to blow more air through the nose.

Mansaka traditional music (the lip flute/Palalu is also existent in Cordilleran music eg the mv that I posted, Kalinga call theirs paldong, while the Maguindanao call theirs palendag, inci of the Maranao, suling by other Lumads/Blaan/Tiruray, etc.)

Visayan takumbo (Panay-Bukidnon) tube zither. They also have gongs, jaw harp (subing), deerskin drums just like other Filipino tribes.

Ensemble instruments. Litgit (fiddle), sungangang (buzzer), tikumbu (tube zither), anarupot (strings)

Tagakaolo/Kalayan kulintang

Single string fiddle is common in Mindanao by different names most commonly "duwagay/dwagey", here this popular Talaandig calls it dayuday/dayuray. Also 'kugat' (Banwaon).

This one played by the same man (Talaandig artist Waway Saway) of a bigger fiddle called tambuleleng.
