+ | According to Atlanta Magazine((https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The primitive appearance of strings stretched across a wood-topped steel bowl is deceptive. The 36 strings are doubled up, with half the strings played by a mallet while the other half resonate in harmony beneath. Plus, the Salimbaa is chromatically tuned, which means that the player need only turn the instrument a few degrees to change key. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Byerly says that the idea of the Salimbaa came to him in a dream while he was doing mission work with the indigenous Manobo in the Philippines. As it turns out, his vision closely resembles an ancient Philippine instrument that had been lost to time. Now, Byerly runs a nonprofit that works with tribal peoples to “redeem” long-forgotten flutes, drums, and stringed instruments. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Dear watchers of this video, please, don't fall for this nonsense. I'm an ethnomusicologist by profession, and I have been researching on the traditional music of the Philippines for more than 40 years. I conducted four years of on-the-spot field research, collected almost 500 musical instruments from all over the Philippines, | ||
+ | |||
+ | In another video, Mr. Caleb reveals that the tribe he visited were the Tinananon Manobo. The Tinananon Manobo are a subgroup of the Matigsalug Manobo. They are only called by this particular name because they are living along Tinanan River, nearby the Arakan area of Mindanao. In his video here, Mr. Caleb is making incredibly shameless claims, saying: "A number of years ago, I was living with a tribal group in the Philippines, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Well, I made a thorough research of the traditional music of the Matigsalug Manobo, and I'm also connected to a Tinananon Manobo instrument maker. It's an absolute lie that the Tinananon Manobo " | ||
+ | |||
+ | And how can this Mr. Caleb make up this story that the musical instruments were taken away from the Tinananon? In fact, he obviously hardly understood anything what they were telling him, because he was even taking the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | For me, personally, this whole story is complete nonsense, and I don't understand for whatever reason other people (aside from Mr.Caleb who simply wants to sell his instruments) are propagating | ||
