Tongali
The tongali is a four holed nose flute (one hole in the back) from northern Philippines and played by the Kalinga and other peoples of Luzon.[1]
A tongali is called kaleleng by the Bontok people, and ungiung by the Ifugao people. This nose flute is played in some parts of southern Philippines. And, in the Province of Palawan, the largest in the Philippines, the nose flutes have tubes much larger in diameter than those found in Luzon.[2]
Properties[edit]
Structure[edit]
One end of the pipe is cut at a node of the bamboo, and a blowing hole is cut in the center of the node. The player holds the flute at an angle and places the blowing hole against one nostril, then directs breath into the flutes through his nose. A solo instrument played only by men for courting and funeral.[3]
