cleod (in the Philippines) Anyone else playing strange instruments? (81* d) RE: Anyone else playing strange instruments? 29 Jan 99


Nose flutes has been around forever here, played by the Ifugaos (a tribe of aborigines in the northern part of Luzon).

I've got a Muslim version of the mouth bow -- it's made entirely of wood and has a mellow, twangy sound. I bought it in this shop that specializes in ethnic instruments, mostly drums (made with lizard skin!), rainsticks, some of those shakey eggs, and something that sounds like the sheep-herding tambourine mentioned earlier.

If anyone ever drops by this part of the world, I'll bring you to the shop -- I've heard there's this group that uses those instruments and plays in local nightclubs...
