Hlou-Ku music

The first orchestras in Bjeheond were invented by ancient Hlou-Ku speaking musicians.

A popular instrument in Hlou and Ku music is the blad which is a curled up banana leaf that when blown, produces a shrill, high pitched sound. Different pitches can be produced by pulling on the blad.

Other commonly used instruments are the jaw harp (Schön Heid), the bowed psaltery (Trlaub), rebecs (Ntzein) and violins in various sizes, and various kinds of prepared piano and guitar.

Tuning

Hlou musicians don't confine themselves to fixed tuning systems, except on fixed pitch instruments, which are typically tuned to JI scales.
