Gandingan a Kayo

The gandingan a kayo (translated means, “wooden gandingan,” or “gandingan made of wood”) is a Philippine xylophone and considered the wooden version of the real gandingan.

This instrument is a relatively new instrument coming of age due to the increasing popularity of the “wooden kulintang ensemble”.

Unlike the original gandingan, the gandingan a kayo cannot be used for long-distance communication.
