BAMBOO MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS TAKE SPOTLIGHT IN DOST-FPRDI’S LATEST R&D PROGRAM

“We make various types of instruments such as tipangklung, angklung, marimba, bumbong, bamban and gabbang, mostly for our clients from schools and music stores,” shared Ramos. He admits that though there is a steady demand for their products, one of the challenges is maintaining the quality of the raw materials, especially since bamboo poles are usually prone to bukbok (powderpost beetle) attack.


The DOST-FPRDI program aims to provide science-backed solutions to BMI problems on sound and structural qualities, playability, tuning and durability.


Program partners include the University of the Philippines - Center for Ethnomusicology and Philippine Normal University, while funding is provided by the DOST Grants - in- Aid.
