Instruments
The Lontu bamboo ocarina


The  "Lontu"  is a bamboo ocarina from Eastern Kalimantan.
It may be an actual development of ancient instruments which
were made of clay.  

The interesting fact is that flutes like this can also be found on
the Philippines, for example the 
courting flute of the Ifugao
people in Northern Luzon.
