On my recent trip to Sarawak in April, I went on a day trip to a small Bidayuh longhouse seldom visited by tourists. There, I was introduced by my guide to a musician who not only played the “slotuang,” a polychordal zither that is played by striking the strings, he also made me one! Accompanying the “slotuang” is a pair of bamboo stamping tubes.
Other acquisitions are: some drums and a flute.
