Bagi orang Kimaragang, nyiru yang bulat dipanggil Saab dan Rilibu bagi yang bujur. Kegunaanya juga hampir sama tetapi masih ada bezanya. Kedua-duanya digunakan untuk “mangatap” atau dalam bahasa melayunya menampi padi. Tetapi biasanya, apa yang selalu saya aplikasikan, saab akan digunakan untuk “mangatap” padi yang baru dituai dan telah dipisahkan dari tangkainya dan bertujuan untuk mengasingkan biji padi yang berisi dengan yang kosong. Rilibu pula sesuai digunakan untuk “mangatap” beras yang telah diproses (ditumbuk menggunakan lesung dan kayu penumbuk atau  digiling) untuk mengasingkan hampas-hampas kulit padi atau “tapol”. Selain itu, rilibu juga sering digunakan untuk kerja “meniri” oleh orang Kimaragang. Proses meniri ini adalah proses mengasingkan beras dengan biji-biji padi yang tidak lumat selepas menumbuk padi. Proses meniri memerlukan kemahiran yang tinggi. Biasanya, dalam proses ini, beras akan dipaksa untuk berada di depan rilibu dan biji-biji padi pula akan ke belakang rilibu melalui gerakan -kiri, tengah dan kanan-. Proses meniri yang mengambil masa 15 minit, atau juga 30 minit (bergantung kepada kemahiran individu dan jumlah beras dalam rilibu) dan akan menghasilkan irama yang mengasyikkan.</div> </span></div> </p>

Sepanjang pengalaman saya, sirung ini digunakan oleh masyarakat Dusun Kimaragang sebagai alat untuk melindungi kepala daripada terik matahari ketika pergi “mongumo”- bekerja atau bercucuk tanam di ladang atau kebun. Boleh dikatakan, sirung ini sama fungsinya dengan topi yang ada pada masa sekarang. Selain daripada itu, sirung juga boleh dijadikan sebagai tudung saji. </b></div> <div class="separator" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; clear: both; color: #333333; font: 13px Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"> <b style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br style="margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></b></div> <div class="separator" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; clear: both; color: #333333; font: 13px Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"> <b style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Kini Sirung jarang sekali digunakan untuk ke ladang (emak saya sendiri juga sudah tidak pernah menggunakannya lagi).

Made from polod palm wood. It is small and is held between the teeth. Its central lamella vibrates when the end of the instrument is hit. The sound is then resonated by the mouth to produce a wide spectrum of sounds. <br /> <br /> It is versalite as a device to attract edible lizards, in farewell and battle songs, for post rice harvesting celebrations and to imitate gong ensemble music.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"> <br /></div> <div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />  <b>SOMPOTON</b></span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">   </span></div> <div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFc_dpoYpdSqeIxwGXXhLEktwfh54sxXZDEILxX-t2ZDUbQtJlwNdotbQm9loTyk0cB_tKTITRuE3FLqnmnkqLbGX9AZIPxL6hsxA0Q9UsBpJ0vcrWqCCOUypkTrodnZTQBwi0Oa3cMc8/s1600/IMG_3111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFc_dpoYpdSqeIxwGXXhLEktwfh54sxXZDEILxX-t2ZDUbQtJlwNdotbQm9loTyk0cB_tKTITRuE3FLqnmnkqLbGX9AZIPxL6hsxA0Q9UsBpJ0vcrWqCCOUypkTrodnZTQBwi0Oa3cMc8/s320/IMG_3111.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traditional this was from Kampung Tikolod, Tambunan.

Inside the gourd seven of the pipes have small polod palm lamellae or sodi inserted into their sides and kept in place by beeswax ofr sopinit. The eighth soundless pipe is stopped up with sopinit. <br /> <br /> The player blows and sucks air through the gourd mouthpiece to activate the sodi. The musical sound produced can be likened to a cross between the sounds from a conventional mouth organ and a bagpipe, minus the latters’ shrillness.
