Traditional music and instruments in Yliakum: Brainstorming!

[BoevenF]

So, I was listening some modern music, Angolese I think, And I thought: what about traditional music instruments in Yliakum? Surely there are some peculiar instruments, made by... Tefusang claws, or drums made with ulbernaut skin... flutes made with riverling bones...
Being a Klyros, I found myself thinking about instruments with water as resounding element... what could be the resultant sound?
Traditional music is based on a pentatonic scale?
Do you have some sketches in mind? Sound samples?
There are some guidelines from the settings department?
Let's talk about it!

Reminds me on "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home" / "Jean Michel Jarre: Ethnicolor"...

Following stereotypes, I could imagine Enkidukai using string instruments, Dwarves preferring drums and organic horns, Xacha having brass tubes, elves using xylophones and chimes... Kran might even have infrasound.

Enkidukai have the H'oka Pont. It's a stringed instrument. It'd be awesome to see such a thing implemented as a playable object.

Possibly similar looking to a mandoline with an angled neck?

fur and claws don't work well with string instruments.

[BoevenF]

it depends from strings material. Think of claws as a plectrum on steel strings, for example... sounds pretty good, for me.

this could be roughly a klyros wind instrument, partially filled with water. Gurgling sounds like those of a previous post could be the result.

Please refer to different forms of a lute.

And ... the "oddest" instrument is possibly the Theremin (Etherophon). But it is electrical, so not suitable for PS...

a claw perhaps needs more space between strings:

Played on the ground, horizontally - like a Zither or a pedal steel guitar?

Jayose's, upstairs. There's a book about it.

Glyp, perhaps? There is a lot of crazy stuff one could do with magic when it comes to music: Amplifying/distorting voices and instruments or built instruments. The updraft between the different levels could also be used as a sound source (giant pipes etc with shutters to turn them off).

i'd say played vertically, while sitting on the ground, the terminal part laying on a shoulder like this:
