Saronay
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). ''Kulintang a tiniok'' is a Maguindanaon term meaning "kulintang with string," but they also could call them ''kulintang a putao'', meaning "kulintang of metal." 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.

Kulintang
Kulintang (, ) is a modern term for an ancient instrumental form of music composed on a row of small, horizontally laid gongs that function melodically, accompanied by larger, suspended gongs and drums.

Metallophone
A metallophone is any musical instrument in which the sound-producing body is a piece of metal (other than a metal string), such as tuned metal bars, tubes, rods, bowls, or plates. Most frequently the metal body is struck to produce sound, usually with a mallet, but may also be activated by friction, keyboard action, or other means. Metallophones have been used in music in Asia for thousands of years. There are several different types used in Balinese and Javanese gamelan ensembles, including the gendèr, gangsa and saron. These instruments have a single row of bars, tuned to the distinctive pelog or slendro scales, or a subset of them. The Western glockenspiel and vibraphone are also metallophones: they have two rows of bars, in an imitation of the piano keyboard, and are tuned to the chromatic scale. In music of the 20th century and beyond, the word ''metallophone'' is sometimes applied specifically to a single row of metal bars suspended over a resonator box. Metallo ...

Kulintang A Kayo
The ''kulintang a kayo'' (literally, “wooden kulintang”) is a Philippine xylophone of the Maguindanaon people with eight tuned slabs strung horizontally atop a padded wooden antangan (rack). Made of hand-carved soft wood such as ''bayug'' (genus Pterospermum) or more likely ''tamnag'' (genus unknown), the kulintang a kayo is rarely found except in Maguindanaon households which have a strong kulintang musical heritage. Traditionally, this homemade instrument was used for self-entertainment purposes inside the house, so that beginning musicians could practice kulintang pieces before performing them on the full-sized metal kulintang sets. Only recently have these instruments been used as part of a wooden kulintang ensemble. This ancient instrument is considered to have existed in the Philippines before the importation of metal gongs from China China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a country in East Asia.

Keyboard Percussion Instruments
A keyboard percussion instrument, also known as a bar or mallet percussion instrument, is a pitched percussion instrument arranged in the same pattern as a piano keyboard and most often played using mallets. While most keyboard percussion instruments are fully chromatic, keyboard instruments for children, such as ones used in the Orff Schulwerk, may be diatonic or pentatonic. Despite the name, keyboard instruments such as the celesta and keyboard glockenspiel are not considered keyboard percussion instruments, despite being idiophones, due to the different skillsets required to play them. This is because keyboard percussion instruments do not possess actual keyboards, but simply follow the arrangement of the keyboard. Common keyboard percussion instruments include marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, glockenspiel, and tubular bells.
