7. Kulintang is a traditional Minahasan percussion

instrument from North Sulawesi Indonesia, consisting
of wooden blades arranged in a row and mounted on a

music. Kulintang in the Minahasan community is used to accompany traditional

Waru wood, and the like, which have a fiber construction. Meanwhile, kulintang
resonator crates are usually made of hardwood materials such as teak or mahogany.
To play Kulintang, all we need to do is struck the wood/gong with a unique beater.
