General Note
  • General note - (See Original Caption.) The gabang--a wooden box about four feet long, a foot deep, and 10 or so inches wide--looks like a xylophone. It is decorated with Arabic designs and words. Using small sticks of bamboo, the players strike strips of bamboo, in graduated length and varying thickness, along the box (Helen Follett, Men of the Sulu Sea, 1945, 180).
