Sompoton or Sumpotan, is a mouth organ made from gourd with bamboo pipes in the northern Borneo.[1] It originated from the state of Sabah and is played by both male and female indigenous people in the state especially by the Kadazan-Dusun and Murut.[2][3][4]
Description
Sompoton consists of eight pieces of bamboo pipe inserted into a dried gourd, which serves as a wind chamber. Traditionally, the individual pipes have their own names, such as lombohon, monongkol, suruk, baranat, randawi, tuntuduk and tinangga.[5]
