Kulintang a tiniok

The kulintang a tiniok is a type of Philippine metallophone with eight tuned knobbed metal plates strung together via string a top a wooden antangan (rack).

The Maranao refer to this instrument as a sarunay (or salunay, salonay, saronay, saronai or sarunai), terminology which has become popular for this instrument in North America.

This is considered a relatively recent instrument and surprisingly many of them are only made of tin-can.

Like the kulintang a kayo, it is used only for self-entertainment purpose in the home, to train beginners on new songs before using the kulintang and in America, master artists have been training students en masse on these instruments.
