 ===Instruments===
+==Salimbaa==
+According to Atlanta Magazine((https://www.atlantamagazine.com/news-culture-articles/guthman-competition-innovative-instruments-just-might-predict-future-music/))-
+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, from the Visayas, Luzon, Palawan and, first of all, from Mindanao, I have most of the books and articles on Philippine musical instruments in my library, examined collections of Philippine musical instruments in many museums…

 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  the hoax of an alleged "lost instrument of the Philippines"…
