A popular instrument in [[Hlou]] and [[Ko]] music is the ''Blad'' which is a curled-up long plant leaf (similar to a banana leaf) that when blown, produces a shrill, high pitched sound. Different pitches can be produced by pulling on the ''Blad''. It commonly plays in the soprano register, though modern genetic engineering alows one to make larger leaves for lower-pitched ''Blad''. | A popular instrument in [[Hlou]] and [[Ko]] music is the ''Blad'' which is a curled-up long plant leaf (similar to a banana leaf) that when blown, produces a shrill, high pitched sound.

Other commonly used instruments are the jaw harp (''Schön Ried''), the tromba marina (''Trlöb Schmie'', traditionally the leader of early Hlou music ensembles) the bowed psaltery (''Trlaub''), the slide guitar (''Dru''), uilleann pipes (''siamh fheigh'', used in Ko music), rebecs (''Ntzaun'') and violins (''Ntxäd'') of various sizes, and various kinds of prepared piano and | Other commonly used instruments are the jaw harp (''Schön Ried''), the tromba marina (''Trlöb Schmie'', traditionally the leader of early Hlou music ensembles), the bowed psaltery (''Trlaub''), the slide guitar (''Dru''), the overtone flute (''Kon Txo Ka'', modern versions come in multiple keys a bit like our world's ''cor omnitonique''), uilleann pipes (''siamh fheigh'', used in Ko music), and most importantly rebecs (''Ntzaun'') and violins (''Ntxäd'') of various sizes, and various kinds of prepared piano, guitar, and hammered dulcimer. Inharmonic and unpitched percussion instruments like chimes, woodblocks and rasps are also common. | ||
Other common instruments are the kantele (''Zeig Pfaß'', from Liai music), and the viola organista (a Windermere invention), tuned to harmonics from 4 to 16. The modern versions of these instruments have many pedals, like a harp, for the various ''Rag''s (sets of fundamentals) used in Hlou music. | Other common instruments are the kantele (''Zeig Pfaß'', from Liai music), and the viola organista (a Windermere invention), tuned to harmonics from 4 to 16.
