The weird thing about world instruments is how so many cultures invented effectively the same instruments in different shapes and configurations - sometimes completely independently of each other.

[@materdeimusicd.buckley2974]

Maybe not so independent. People traveled and probably brought music with them. They would make similar instrument with what was available in the new area. For instance, my interest pipes. All across Europe, there are so many pipes, with a bag and chanter and drones. But as far as I know, pipes aren't in the rest of the world. String instruments seem to have originated in middle East and spread both east and west. Bowed instruments, harp/ zither/ dulcimer type instruments, lute/ guitar like instruments. They are everywhere. Also blowing flute like instruments. Of course drums were most likely first instruments along with singing. The degeredoo of Australia is another interesting one, again not found outside the aboriginal people. Also the music of the aboriginal tribes is extraordinarily unique. Once you start studying world music, it's addictive. So fascinating.

[@lunamooncat7926]

My favourite example of this is the hammered dulcimer. The idea traveled to different countries, resulting in different versions of a similar instrument.

[@TNAOD]

​@@materdeimusicd.buckley2974 Pipes are actually pretty common place in South East Asia and South America, albeit without a bag. The Thai Khaen is pretty notable example, and pipes played a pretty crucial role in pre-Columbian music due to the aforementioned lack of string instruments, both having evolved pretty independently.

[@kiak.matthews76]

Yeah, music is universal!

[@wfcoaker1398]

@@materdeimusicd.buckley2974 I'm from Newfoundland, in Canada. The diatonic accordion, what we call a button accordion, is pretty much our cultural instrument. And in the past few decades, many traditional music groups have adopted the bouzouki as well. Not sure why. The Greek community here is tiny. I think it's because it became popular in Irish trad that it became popular here. Our traditional music is rooted in the British Isles and there's still a lot of trading back and forth.

[@joneyC]

When I saw the Kulintang, I hesitated to guess it was from the Philippines because I remembered that there are similar instruments with the gongs that went by other names in Indonesia and Malaysia (like caklempong and talempong) there's also the khong wong yai and khong wong lek from Thailand, but that one has a circular frame with it and is a little different.. What gave it away for me was the name Tboli Museum on the bottom. The T'boli people are one of the indigenous groups from Mindanao, Philippines in South Cotabato. We had influences from Indonesia, Brunei and other Southeast Asian cultures prior to the Spanish colonizing. Those influences are more apparent in the South. There are many other instrument names too and types of gongs that are suspended while playing- like the agung and gandingan??, but I admit that I don't know that much about the instruments. I have family living near the region (in Davao) but I live far from them now.

[@zititan3015]

I think South East Asia countries influence each other in a lot of things, including musical instruments. As a Malaysian I played the gamelan back when I was in secondary school and I was surprised that the kulintang looked a little like the bonang in the gamelan assemble. XDXD

[@k.3004]

I mean it's not a uniquely Philippine instrument but of something shared of Indo-Malay culture. Yeah the video takes place in the Philippines. A good example of the use of Kulintang and Kutyapi (boat lute) or also called Hegelung by the Tboli is the song, Ang Bayan kong Sinilangan by Asin. The few contemporary Filipino songs where the inclusion of native instruments is especially meaningful.

[@joneyC]

@@k.3004 yea many cultures in Maritime SE Asia share similar influences. They're neighbors. That's why I brought up Tboli and Mindanao 🙂 There's more Indo/Malay influence in the South due to the proximity to countries like Indonesia 👍🏼 I hear the influence in our language too. The boundaries may be different now compared to what it was centuries ago, but the similarities in culture are there. My school had a gamelan ensemble so I learned about that first. While some aspects are not "unique" to the islands, I appreciate the outside influences that eventually develop a way of life distinct and diverse from my other relatives who live in Central Visayas (Sugbo). All of these instruments in general have a long and rich history 😊 I'm happy that I get to see any Southeast Asian instruments being featured. I looked beyond contemporary boundaries and had that Indo/Malay influence in mind

[@werren894]

kulintang in Indonesia is bamboo percussion from Celebes(we believed), like gamelan but not metal, while the metal always called gamelan, Austronesian is just, we love percussion, drum and flute, the string-like instrument is probably west influence, like Arab or India.

[@girlsquad224]

I guessed Philippines coz of the thumbnail. But confirmed it when I saw the writings on the façade of the instrument.

Debussy was influenced by Javanese gamelan using the slendro scale via siah pitu in his piece, Pagodes from Estampes.

Correct, Eddy. But the Gamelan orchestra that Debussy saw at the oriental festival was the central Javanese style of gamelan playing. While the one shown in this video is the Balinese gamelan. The instruments are the same, but the styles are distinctly different. In fact, many cultures in Indonesia have the gamelan orchestra. But they make different styles that varies from culture to culture.

In music in second year middle school, we were taught about South Asian, east asian, Southeast Asian instruments. And I know Sheng is a Chinese instrument. In fact, Sitar is a South Asian instrument. But I thought gamelan was traditionally played by women so I second guessed. And I'm Filipino so I know kulintang. I saw that T'Boli Museum is written below and in fact T'Boli people are a tribe in Mindanao, Philippines. I don't know how to play any of these instruments though. I just knew them from school.

Interestingly, ethnic groups in Malaysia also have a similar instrument named "Engkerumong" --I thought it was that before it revealed it was from the Philippines instead. I'm not sure if it's the same instrument under different names or have slight variations to differentiate them with.

[@Unsqeakable]

As a Czech, Brett's guess on the first one was pretty funny. The closest thing close to it is a "kliklak" and as my dad told me (it's an old thing (roasted lol)) is a toy. A handle with an opening on one side has a string going through. On the ends of the string are wooden balls. When you shake it hard enough, it sounds like machine gun. At the time (socialism) it must have scared people alot and it was often banned in schools.

[@bigorns]

Oh, we had this toy in Brazil! Nice to learn where it came from.

kulintang from the philippines is actually played/used by a tribe/indigenous group in the philippines, used in ceremonies/gatherings performed by the tribe; there are a lot of diff ethnic groups here in the provinces/mountainous regions and each group has probably diff kinds of instruments with them

Goddammit, hurdy gurdy is crazy good. People might judge it derpy because of the crank, but there's a girl on YT who plays it, and sometimes she plays covers of famous rock bands. And she can produce such convincing electric guitar and bass guitar sound out of it, I'm at this point completely sure the only reason there was no heavy metal in medieval times is because the church would forbid it.

Argentine here. Bandoneon is similar to accordeon, but it has buttons on both sides, while accordion has a keyboard on one side. Also I think they sound a bit different. And if I recall correctly, bandoneon is actually from Germany, but widely used in tango.

[@Milizavalia]

Holis! Igual hay dos tipos de acordeones, el acordeon a piano (que tiene teclas) y hay acordeones que tienen botonera de los dos lados también no todos son a piano

The main difference between an Akkordeon and a Bandoneon is also: a Bandoneon plays a different note when pulling it as when pushing it (with the same knob pressed).

[@HAngeli]

This is important. I was very confused.

[@antoniong1449]

Bandoneón was indeed invented in Germany by Heinrich Band, who named it after his surname. It was intended to accompany protestant religious himns, but once it arrived to Argentina... let's say Argentinians found a better use 😂 All this group of instruments (harmonium, accordion, harmonica, melodica, etc ) is called "free reed" (lengüetas libres), belongs to woodwind family and was developed in Europe thanks to models of the Chinese sheng we can see at the beginning of tis video 🤯 Argentos for ever! 🇦🇷💪🏻 Saludos desde España 😃
