1. HISTORY of PHILIPPINE MUSIC

The ancient Filipinos had music practically for all occasions, for every phase of life, from birth to death.

3. Indigenous Musical Instruments
Aerophones
Chordophones
Idiophones

A few differences may be noted between the instruments of the Northern and Southern Philippines. These differences lie primarily in the manner of construction, the style of playing them and the sound they produce. By and large, however, instruments found all over the Islands are strikingly similar.

20. Jaw harp kubing of Maranao
kolibauTingguian, arudingTagbanua,  kolibauTingguian,
a very thin slit of bamboo or brass with a narrow vibrating tongue in the middle longitudinal section
considered a “speaking intrument”
Placed between the lips of the player, its tongue is made to vibrate by striking the projecting end of the instrument with the thumb or by pulling a string attached to it. The mouth of the playeracts as the resonator, and as the shape of the mouth cavity changes, the pitch and quality of the sound varies. This enables the player to communicate message with his instrument. For this reason, the jew’s harp is a favorite of lovers and is played by both men and women. It is thus considered a “speaking intrument”.
