Mungkin juga dalam bahasa melayu kedua-duanya dipanggil Nyiru tetapi dibezakan dengan nyiru bulat atau nyiru bujur. 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>

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>

Single-headed drums come mainly from the interior. For example, the tontog of
the Rungus or the karatung of the Tambunan Kadazan Dusuns.<br />
<br />
Double headed drums are found in coastal areas as well as the interior, for
example, the gandang of the bajau. The membranes covering the drumheads used to

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is
common to Dusunic communities. The Tambunan Kadazan Dusuns call it turali or
turahi whilst in Penampang, it is called tuahi. It is widely played for personal
entertainment, except in Penampang and the central part of Tambunan where it
expresses grief after a death.<br />
<br />
The story behind the origin of the turali is that once upon a time there was a
man who had 7 sons and no daughters. When both parents died due to some
illness, the sons were very grieved. However, as men and warriors, they could
not cry. To express their great sorrow and grief for the death of their
parents, they made and played the turali.<br />

The Sundatang is originally a 2 stringed
instrument crafted from a solid block of wood and it is used for ceremonial
celebration by the ethnic people of Sabah in East Malaysia. This instrument is
a close cousin of the Sape of Sarawak and the Kutiyapi of the Pilipino people.
I redesigned it to be 3 stringed instrument with frets and proper bridge,
holding the strings in tune with good and sustained acoustic sound qualities. <b><u><span style="font-family: Algerian;"><o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">
<br />
Bamboos grow mainly in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa and
South America. There are around 91 genera and more than 1000 species of bamboos
known in the world, and the Forestry Research Centre in Sepilok has recorded a
total of 36 species for Sabah. <br />
<br />
The bamboo species in Borneo have been in the region long enough to be
indigenous, although some species may have been imported from other countries
over the past three thousand years, such as <i>Gigantochloa balui</i>. However,
proper evidence is lacking. <br />
<br />
The local people in Borneo have made wide usage of bamboos, a very versatile,
as well as abundant and fast growing source of food, medicine, building
material, and raw material for all sorts of daily implements, from cooking
containers to ceremonial knives. <br />
<br />
<b><i>Local Bamboo Names</i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Some of the
bamboos found in Sabah, with their local names: K = Kadazan (Penampang
area); D = Dusun (generic if no area defined); R = Rungus; M = Murut <br />
<br />
<b>Uga’ding</b> (K); Rugading (D)<br />
<i>Schizostachyum brachycladum</i><br />
<br />
This is “Yellow Bamboo”, mostly found around and in cemeteries, and nowadays in
landscaping. Its culm is a bright light yellow with attractive green
striations, giving it a very elegant look. I have found that in Tambunan people
make suki (cups) during weddings for serving rice wine. Unfortunately the suki
do not last, the bamboo curls and splits when drying up, and its colour becomes
an uninteresting grey-brown.<br />
<br />
<b>Poing </b>(K); Poring (D)<br />
<i>Gigantochloa levis</i>, 15 to 30 meters high, culm diameter up to 20
cm    <br />
<br />
Called ‘poring’ in most Dusun isoglots, this is the biggest and strongest
bamboo in Sabah; it is used in buildings, from temporary stilts (in pondok), to
permanent flooring and walling (Kadazan Penampang usage) and even roof tiling
(Tamparuli). Instruments are made from poing, such as the tongkungon (zither /
chordophone) and the togunggu’ (an idiophone, known as tagunggak amongst the
Murut and togunggak amongst the Dusun), and many more daily implements – there
are no limits to its usage. The shoots (sokok) are collected as food. <br />
<br />
This bamboo has a particularity: it is not attacked by any bore-worm, and even
in the open deteriorates very slowly. Floors and walls, as well as other
implements made from this particular bamboo might last, without further
treatment, up to thirty years.   <br />
Tamahang (K); Tamalang (D); Rugading Tamalang Silou (D – the yellow variant)<br />
Bambusa vulagris, up to 15 meters high, culm diameter up to 6 cm<br />
<br />
Usually to be found along rivers, tamahang can be confused with poing, but it
is smaller and its sokok (shoots) is very bitter. Tamahang is used in the
constructions of fences that will last about three to six months. <br />
<br />
Note: there are certain times when this bamboo (and also other species) cannot
be cut: if cut before full moon, bore-worms attack the wood and lay their eggs.
The hatching larvae will quickly deteriorate the bamboo. If cut after the full
moon (after the bore-worms have laid their eggs), the bamboo lasts
longer.  <br />
<br />
<b>Bahui</b> (K); Balui (D Moyog); Malui (D); Rugading Balui (D – if yellow)<br />
<i>Gigantochloa balui</i>, 15 to 18 meters high, culm diameter up to 10 cm,
thick wall<br />
<br />
A green, sometimes yellow, thick-walled bamboo with no particular usage, but
may be used to make a straw to drink tapai (siopon), and a sharp knife/spear to
kill pigs. Can be confused with rugading but its walls are much thicker. <br />
<br />
<b>Humbising</b> (K); Sumbiling (D)<br />
<i>Schizostachyum lima</i>, up to 12 meters<br />
<br />
A thin bamboo that is also referred to as ‘sumbiling’. The Kadazan and Dusun
used to make a certain type of ‘knife’ to kill pigs, and a sumbiling spear
kills better than others because of natural poisons in the bamboo; it can be
used to make instruments such as the sompoton (an aerophone), the turali
(‘nose-flute’, an aerophone) and the suling (an end-blown flute). It may also
be used to make straws to drink tapai (siopon).<br />
<br />
<b>Wulu</b> (K); Tulu (D); Rugading Tulu (D – if yellow)<br />
<i>Schizostachyum brachycladum</i>, up to 13 meters high, culm diameter up to
6cm<br />
<br />
A bamboo that an untrained eye easily confuses with poring or even rugading in
its yellow form but it is much lighter. Often used as a ‘cooking pot’ for
glutinous rice, to make water containers and baskets. <br />
<br />
<b>Tombotuon</b> / Tombutuong (D)<br />
<i>Schiyostachzum blumei</i>, up to 5 meters high, culm 2 cm<br />
<br />
Bamboo with spiny branches, and middle branches can branch again; seldom used
but finds its application as a ‘straw’ to drink rice wine. It can be confused
with sumbiling and tulu rugading but tombotuon has thicker walls. <br />
<br />
<b>Wadan</b> (D)<br />
<i>Dinochloa trichogona</i> – Borneo climbing/scrambling bamboo; <i>D scabrida</i>;
<i>D sublaevigata<br />
</i><br />
Sap (wadan) is used as an eye drop; no further information (27/03/07). <br />
<br />
<b>Tongkungon</b> (D)<br />
<i>Bambusa blumeana</i>, up to 22 meters high, culm diameter up to 20 cm<br />
<br />
Famous for its shoots, which are sweeter than those of poring. As the name
indicates, this bamboo is used to make the tongkungon, a bamboo zither and also
the tagunggak (the bamboo gongs), two types of indigenous instruments. However,
poring (Gigantochloa levis), which is more readily available is also used.    </span><br />

KOTA KINABALU:  IT took Philipus Jani 13 years to fine-tune
his   saxophone made from bamboo.  These days, he can make
one  in five days.</div>
The 44-year-old multitalented Dusun from Tambunan has now sold 70 bamboo
saxophones around the world and has made a profit of over RM100,000.<br />

"I only produce the instrument upon request and many have placed their
orders from Japan, Australia, the Netherlands and also locally.<br />

"Although the saxophone is my main focus, I also make other instruments
from bamboo such as violins, flutes and guitars," said Philipus, who also
earns his living as a musician and handicraft maker.<br />

Music comes naturally to Philipus -- he plays by ear and has never attended
any musical lessons.<br />

Well known for his Sompiring trademark, his passion for the saxophone began
in 1993 when he first tried his hand at the conical-bore transposing musical
instrument.<br />

"I didn't know how to play a saxophone then. One day, I borrowed one
from a friend but after a week I had to return it. Later I kept thinking about
the instrument. It was like falling in love at first sight."<br />

Because Philipus could not afford to buy a saxophone, he decided to make one
using a type of bamboo known as rugading, which is sturdy and light.<br />

"I never once gave up during that 13 years. It was annoying but I
eventually got the right sound by 2006. Now, it takes me five days.<br />

"My saxophone has brought me to places I've never dreamt of going to. I
have been to peninsular Malaysia and many more places. I have performed in
Japan."<br />

Philipus said buyers from other countries would personally fly over to meet
him at his small workshop at home.<br />

Sometimes, he plays at a hotel lounge and at corporate events.<br />

The humble craftsman is still holding on to his first bamboo saxophone.<br />

Philipus' next dream is to make a piano from bamboo.<br />
