This is a pictorial overview of musical instruments of the Philippines beginning with older bamboo and other instruments of undetermined age. Essays offer a concise account of the music cultures of Northern and Southern Philippines; the role of agricultural rituals, harvest ceremonies, and prestige feasts in music-making; musical forms; ensembles; and a historical perspective. The distribution of music instruments is identified in separate maps, with native names classified in tables, listed in an index-glossary of more than eight hundred native terms.
