Other representative Philippine instruments include the mouth harp (bamboo kubin, metal onna), the boat-shaped plucked kujapi (kachapi), the nose flute, the split drum, the pounded bamboo pipe, and the headband-style whistle. Vocal music is characterized by free rhythm and falsetto-heavy choruses and narrative solos in the north, and by the Muslim singing of the south, which is rich in ornamental sounds.
