    Sambe is a traditional Dayak musical instrument made of soft wood with four to six strings. It is widely used by the Dayak Kenya, Iban and Kayan peoples, who each have variations producing different sounds and tones. The sambe is played by plucking the strings with the thumb, with one string carrying the melody and the rest functioning as drone strings to accompany dances and produce two tones - the slow, distinctive tubunsitun tone and the more rapid, dynamic sakpakok tone.
