A tongatong is a percussion instrument made of various lengths

communicate with spirits, particularly as part of healing
rituals.Saggeypo it is a bamboo pipe that is closed on one end
by a node with the open end held against the
lower lip of the player as he blows directly across the top. The
pipe can be played individually by
one person or in ensembles of three or more.

Saggeypo instruments are thin pieces of bamboo with a

node on each end. The open end is cut in progressive
lengths and into the shape of an open mouth.They are
then tied together in a row. These are the Kalinga's
version of the harmonica.

instrument (idiophone) made out of bamboo common in
numerous indigenous tribes around the Philippines such as
the Ifugao, Kalinga, and Ibaloi.

Gangsa is a single hand-held smooth-

surfaced gong with a narrow rim. A set of
gangsa, which is played one gong per
musician, consists of gangsa tuned to different notes, depending on
regional or local cultural preferences. The number of gangsa in a set
varies with availability, and depends on the tradition of a particular
ethnic group of the Luzon Cordillera: Kalinga, Ifugao, Bontoc, etc.

Among the Kalinga people in the Cordillera region of Luzon Island, the gangsa is played in two
ways. One way is called "toppaya" and the other is called "pattung." In "toppaya" style, the
musicians play the surface of the gangsa with their hand while in a sitting position, with a single
gangsa resting on the lap of each musician. In the "pattung" style, a gangsa is suspended from
the musician's left hand and played with a padded stick held in the musician's right hand. In the
"pattung" style of playing, the players are standing, or they keep in step with the dancers while
bending forward slightly.
It is a traditional kind of Filipino folk music, which focuses on percussion: flat gongs are played
rhythmically with sticks by eight gong players.
