This instrument with a bamboo keyboard has been created in 1980 by Makoto YABUKI. It is tuned in the chromatic scale on more than 4 octaves. We use a bamboo species called "Phyllostacys Pubescens" which is 5 to 10 cm wide.

It is the same structure as the Také-Marimba. To make it, we use bamboos which are 8 to 13 cm wide and it is and it is tuned in the chromatic scale on 2 octaves.

It looks like a giant Pan flute. We slap on the open ends of every bamboo pipe closed by its node (" Phyllostachys Bambousoides" which are 7 to 9 cm wide) with a special flat bass drumstick. Every pipe has a different length which corresponds to a note. We find the origins of this instrument in the Pacific Ocean's islands.

It is a bronze metalophone with bamboo resonators in the style of the Indonesian Gamelan's instruments. This Gender instrument is tuned in the chromatic scale on more than 2 octaves.

Notes on one octave, it is the Gender's bass part. We slap on it with a heavy and soft bass drumstick to make a long echo.

It is structured as the Také-Marimba but its percussion keyboard is not used the same way. Every pipe is differently arranged to be scrubbed with a bow. The sound looks like a flute one.

In the west Bali Island, there is a musical group compound by instruments called "Jegog". To make it, we used "Phyllostrachys Pubescens" bamboos which are 13 to 15 cm wide. The pipe which has the gravest note G measures 3 m.

This instrument is a communication tool used in Bali. There is one of this near the door of every house to announce different informations. Here, we use it tuned on several different notes, and every musician slap with two sticks to create a poly-rhythmic effect.

Every musician slaps the bamboo pipe on the ground to make the grave note and in the same time, he slaps with his other hand a bamboo blade on the instrument's exterior face to make a shrill sound.

It is one of the detached pipes which compose the Také-Marimba's keyboard. We take two pipes which correspond to different notes in each hand and we slap on the wall, or on the ground, or on other supports.

It looks like an instrument used in Latino-American music but it is made of bamboo. We play it by scrubbing on its engraved sides. We can change the note successively by closing the pipe's opening.

It is two bamboo tongues that we beat one on the other one. The sound is very hard and very shrill and we can play complex poly-rhythmic with several musicians.

Round a bamboo pipe which is 7 to 8 cm wide, we have attached some wooden pearls (1,5 cm wide) with strings. We play by making it to turn.

It is a vertical bamboo flute used in the music of South America (Andes).

It is a vertical flute used in traditional Japanese music. We can find its origins in the Buddhism; it was used during the meditation, and was not considered as a musical instrument.

We make this instrument by putting together bamboo pipe with a small diameter. The professional East European Pan Flute is much more sophisticated, but we use an easy way to enable the children to make this instrument.

It is a sort of Japanese drum. We used different diameters and only one face is covered by horse skin.

It is two stainless steel cooking bowls with a handle. We play it by scrubbing its contour with a stick, as we do with the Tibetan Bowls.

This "object" instrument operates with water. We find it in the traditional Japanese garden. The water's flow makes the bamboo pipe hurting a hard support and it creates a sound. We use a tuned instrument.
