Some Sjowaazheñ instruments are the lute (''ya'ook''), the erhu (''shjhedgaañt''), the lyre (''biliiwid''), various end-blown flutes (''joweet' ''), the base drum (''khool'') and the woodblocks (''ghonyeeñ''). String instruments usually are unfretted but marked at perfect fourths. | Some Sjowaazheñ instruments are the lute (''ya'ook''), the erhu (''shjhedgaañt''), the lyre (''biliiwid''), various end-blown flutes (''joweet' ''), the base drum (''khool'') and the woodblocks (''ghonyeeñ'').

The Sjowaazheñ tradition takes a purely melodic, rather than harmonic, approach to tuning, unlike the Talman and Bjeheondian traditions. Sjowaazheñ scales are traditionally based around tetrachords or pentachords which divide the perfect fourth into three or four intervals. Innovations over the years have led to finer divisions or "n-chords" of the perfect fourth in more "sophisticated" music. The general term in Sjowaazheñ for an n-chord is ''hañbaac'' (pl. ''hañbaacin''). | The Sjowaazheñ tradition takes a purely melodic, rather than harmonic, approach to tuning, unlike the Talman and Bjeheondian traditions.
