Made of small bamboo, this is how to make a traditional musical instrument, Minang Kabau, "Saluang".

First, prepare a medium sized bamboo about half a meter long, measure the distance between the holes to the hole, then hole using a sharp knife.

Furthermore, the hole will be smoothed so that it is perfectly round so that it doesn't feel rough when touched by the finger. there are at least four or five holes that must be made. and finally, the tip is trimmed with the blade so that it is also not rough and good to look at.

"saluang", ready for use by blowing. how to blow it is not arbitrary. in order to produce a beautiful and melodious sound, it cannot be blown directly but with half a breath and regulates the tone rhythm by alternately playing a finger or several holes at once.

This musical instrument is a traditional musical instrument of traditional Minang Kabau, West Sumatra which currently still exists and is still found in various traditional events Minang Kabau
