摘要：

Bamboo musical instruments have been part of the Philippine culture. It is commonly used by ethnic groups to express their passion for music but also for festivals, cultural activities, and rituals. The evolution in the production and usage of BMIs have been documented since 1960’s, however, there are limited information on the bamboo species used in BMI making. The bamboo species used by several ethnic groups namely: Bagobo-Tagabawa, Kalinga, Majukayong and T’boli tribe, have been documented and identified through field visit/survey and interviews. This will be a baseline information on the bamboo species used in BMIs making as well as search for possible alternatives.

A total of 11 bamboo species have been identified as raw materials for making BMIs. This include Bambusa spinosa Roxb., B. vulgaris Schrad. Ex. Wendl., Dendrocalamus asper (Schultes f.) Backer ex Heyne, D. merrillianus (Elmer) Elmer, Gigantochloa atter (Hassk.) Kurz., G. levis (Blanco) Merr., Schizostachyum brachycladum (Kurz) Kurz, S. lima (Blanco) Merr., S. lumampao (Blanco) Merr., Phyllostachys edulis (Carrierre) J. Houz., and  Dinochloa sp.

The type instruments documented were classified as idiophones (27), chordophones (1), membranophones (1), and aerophones (11). The instruments were bamboo clapper, zither, scraper, jar harp, slit drum, tube drum, fiddle, one-string, bamboo rhythm stick, quill-shape tube, flute, shaker, buzzer, and xylophones.

Some of the considerations in choosing bamboo species for BMI making were availability, diameter size, part and straightness of the pole, maturity and harvesting period.
