TOGUNGGAK' (Idiofon)
Known as tagunggak amongst
the Murut, togunggak amongst lhe Dusun/Kadazan or 'togunggu' in Penampang,
these struck bamboo idiophones are played in groups to accompany dancing or processions at
festive occasions. One set comprises from six (togunggu') to thirty (tagunggak) pieces,
depending on the ethnic group. The music resembles that of the set of gongs of the
particular group, with each idiophone tuned according to the corresponding gong part it
plays.
