The most common instruments in Tlu music are the lute (''ουδ'') and a bouzouki-like instrument called the ''ba yao'' (''βο ζουγ''). The ''ba yao'' has a set of strings stretched across the soundhole perpendicular to the fingerboard, used for playing melodies, as well as two or three strings that span the fingerboard, used as drone strings.

===Shum music===
[[Shumian]] music has an interesting variation of the slide guitar, called a ''vib nan'', which was invented [four?] centuries ago by the Tumhanian designer [???]. It's a roughly ten foot long instrument played vertically, and can be bowed or plucked. The modern ''vib nan'' is electrically amplified and very minimalistic and consists of one or two strings stretched across a long metal tube (as in the Gittler guitar).
[[Shum]] music has an interesting variation of the slide guitar, called a ''vi-na'' (Shum: ''vib nan''), which was invented [four?] centuries ago by the Tumhanian designer [???]. It's a roughly ten foot long instrument played vertically, and can be bowed or plucked. The modern ''vi-na'' is electrically amplified and very minimalistic and consists of one or two strings stretched across a long metal tube (as in the Gittler guitar).


The ''vib nan'' can be played with a slide as well as in natural harmonics, which can be very high owing to the size of the instrument; some pieces use harmonics as high as the 32nd.
