Shalian kanteles (''wáirdıan'') are traditionally tuned to a 10 note scale but the 10 notes can be changed on the fly. In modern times most ''wáirdıan''s have levers fixed to 22edo while some can make finer adjustments.

Vocal polyphony (most often unaccompanied) is an important part of Shalian music, especially in coming of age parties, 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.
