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. | 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'').

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, i.e. divisions of 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.
