Tuniring APPLICATION description

One of the most popular traditional musical is the traditional xylophone.
Sabah as known as British North Borneo is richly blessed with a wide-array of traditional musical instruments due to her multi-ethnic communities. One of the most popular traditional musical instruments, among others, is the traditional xylophone. The traditional xylophones popular among the Kadazandusun, Bajau, Suluk etc are kulintangan (metal xylophone) and gabang kayu (wooden idiophone). However, the kulintangan is an expensive musical instrument because metals are hard to come by in villages. In order to cut cost, the metal xylophone was later modified into a wooden idiophone known as gabang kayu by the Orang Sungai, Bajau and Suluk community from Sandakan,Kota kinabalu,Tawau,beluran,lahad datu,ranau,tuaran,kota belud,kudat and beaufort


While maintaining the overall functionality of the contemporary xylophone, the Tuniring is a much cheaper and more portable version of the original.
The Tuniring (tu ni means sound and ring refers to poring means bamboo in Kadazandusun language) is derived from the combination of kulintangan (metal xylophone) and gabang kayu (wooden idiophone).
