Bamboo Ensemble - In the Philippine creation myth, the first man and woman were born out of bamboo, which is also considered by early Filipinos as a connection from the physical world to the spiritual. Many bamboo instruments were also used for entertainment and self expression. The different ways in playing bamboo instruments include: blowing (aerophones), shaking or hitting (idiophones), and plucking (chordophones).
Gabbang - It is a native xylophone in Sulu, a bamboo keyboard on top constructed out of wood. Usually, its main body is shaped like a coffin; its key is struck with two mallets, each with a strip of rubber fastened to its underside.
