 The Shalian kantele (''wáirdıan'') is traditionally tuned to a 8 note-per-fifth scale but the 8 notes can be changed on the fly. Most modern ''wáirdıan''s have levers fixed to 22edo while some (used for "avant-garde" music) can make finer adjustments.
-Vocal polyphony (''sar-nóoslownth'' 'group singing') is an important part of Shalian music, especially in ceremonies such as coming of age parties, weddings, festivities, and funerals. Troupes of singers are trained from a young age to harmonize, vocalize rhythms, clap, snap their fingers and make various gestures. Sung music reflects the glottal stops, stress accent and long-short rhythms of the Shalian language.

 There is also a tradition of orally transmitted folk songs (''amár-nóoslownth'' 'mother's song'). Composed solo vocal music (''jái'ner-nóoslownth'' 'exquisite singing'), to the contrary, was traditionally upper class music as opposed to folk music.
