​Musical Instruments from the Lowlands of Luzon

I.  Rondalla Instruments

            Rondalla is an ensemble of plucked or stringed instruments played with a plectrum or pick and sometimes with percussions too. It originated in Medieval Spain, especially in Castile, Catalonia, Aragon, Murcia, and Valencia. The tradition was later taken to Spanish America and the Philippines. In the early times of our country, certain styles were adopted by the natives especially guitar and bandurria used in the Pandanggo, Polka and among others as accompaniment.  (https:/en.m.wikipedia.org~wiki)

​Laud

​Is a 14-stringed pear-shaped lute with f-shaped sound holes and played with a plectrum, it plays the alto part or counter melody in the Rondalla ensemble. It is bigger than the Bandurria.

​

Guitar

It is a fretted musical instrument that usually has six strings. It is typically played with both hands by strumming or plucking the strings with either a guitar pick or the finger(s)/fingernails of one hand, while simultaneously fretting (pressing the strings against the frets) with the fingers of the other hand. The sound of the vibrating strings is projected either acoustically, by means of the hollow chamber of the guitar (for an acoustic guitar), or through an electrical amplifier and a speaker.

​

​Octavina

​14-stringed lute which is shaped like a small guitar and played with a plectrum, it plays a counter melody or harmony fill-in in the Rondalla ensemble

​

​Bajo de Uñas

It is a bass guitar which looks like a big guitar and is played by a plectrum. It plays the bass part and serves as a rhythmic support

​

​Double Bass

The double bass, or simply the bass (and numerous other names), is the largest and lowest- pitched bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra. It is a transposing instrument and is typically notated one octave higher than tuned to avoid excessive ledger lines below the staff.

​II. Bamboo Instruments

​These are traditional musical instruments that are made of bamboo.  The Bamboo Organ, a Philippine National Treasure, can be found in St. Joseph's Church, Las Piñas City and is made of 902 bamboo pipes in 1824.  Musikong Bumbong is a Filipino marching band that use woodwind instruments that are made of bamboo. Pangkat Kawayan, popularly known as the “Singing Bamboos of the Philippines”, is an orchestra that plays music using non-traditional bamboo instruments founded in 1966.
