| Description | Drawing on her own experience and that of the many Summer Institute of Linguistics colleagues working throughout PNG, the author has compiled a listing of many different kinds of instruments in the country. They are grouped into idiophones, aerophones, membranophones, chordophones, toys, and borrowed (introduced). While certainly not an exhaustive listing (an impossible task), it gives a good general idea of many of the major forms of instruments, along with regional variations. |
