 Some Sjowaazheñ instruments are the lute (''ya'ook''), various spike fiddles (''shjhedgaañt''), the lyre (''biliiwid''), various end-blown flutes (''joweet'''), the bass drum (''khool'') and the woodblock (''ghonyeeñ''). String instruments usually are unfretted but marked at perfect fourths.
 ==Tuning==
-The Sjowaazheñ tradition takes a purely melodic, rather than harmonic, approach to tuning, unlike the [[Verse:Tricin/Etalocin/Music#Talman_music|Talman]] and [[Verse:Tricin/Bjeheond/Music|Bjeheondian]] traditions. Traditionally, the building blocks of Sjowaazheñ scales are 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 being used in more "sophisticated" music. The general term for an n-chord in Sjowaazheñ is ''hañbaac'' (pl. ''hañbaacin'').

 The octave may be divided into two perfect fourths plus one whole tone. However, in monophonic music, the perfect fourths divided into ''hañbaacin'' may even be stacked on top of each other indefinitely, without regard to octave equivalence.
