 Instruments typically used for harmony and polyphony, in addition to the voice, are mountain dulcimers, tubulongs, marimbas of various kinds, guitars, reed organs of various kinds, pipe organs, zithers, and steelpans. These are typically tuned to either a 26 tone 7 limit scale, or a 34 tone 11 limit scale. Flexible pitch instruments are also used, such as the violin family (borrowed from Hlou music), the musical saw, and the Crychord.

But violin family instruments were adapted to this style; performers would strike different parts of their instruments with their fingers, and tune the strings so low that they hit against the fingerboard producing a loud percussive effect. The rhythms used were often extremely fast and complicated and polyrhythms were common.
