Kwintangan Kayu

Kwintangan Kayu is an instrument consisting of five wooden logs hung horizontally, from the shortest to the longest, with the shortest being nearest the ground. It is played to serenade the palay, as a lover woos his beloved. Its resonance is believed to gently caress the plants, rousing them from their deep sleep, encouraging them to grow and yield more fruit. Yakan tradition sets the Agung as a woman's instrument.
