Looking somewhat reminiscent of an ox head, the squared sound box "head" forms the base from which stretch upward in a fan-shaped array to be anchored by pegs attached to the crossbar connecting the curved "horns".		\|Kithara\|\|String\|\| \|\| The kithara is larger, though similar, to a lyre.

			\|Koto\|\|String \|\|Elothean \|\| Favored by Elotheans of the House of the Silk Strings, the koto is a two-handed string instrument with a curved body. Most koto use thirteen strings, which are strung over the same number of moveable bridges along the width of the instrument and allow the musician to adjust the string pitches. More complex koto use seventeen strings, but can go up to thirty-six. Koto may be made of wood, metal or glass, with wood being the most common material used. While the strings of a koto are most commonly silk to give a light sound, some glass or metal koto use metal or glass strings, which complement the body material and make for a more tonal yet ethereal sound. Koto require a pick to be played.

	\|Lap Harp\|\|String \|\| \|\| The harp has an elegant, triangular shape across which run its many strings. The long slender body has inconspicuous sound holes on either side of its many strings that run from the base to the gracefully curved upper arm that holds the tuning pins. It is just small enough to be played from the lap or against the chest.		\|Lap Harp\|\|String \|\| \|\| The harp has an elegant, triangular shape across which run its many strings.

			\|Alounoun\|\|Percussion \|\|Dwarven \|\|A form of stamping tube, the alounoun is a specific form that sprang up from Dwarven culture reminiscent of the stamp-like dancing often found at Dwarven parties and galas. The alounloun is made of a hollow tube of wood or metal that has rings of the same material attached to the entire length of the instrument. The rings are loosely attached in groups, which are marked off by a copper band. The pattern of the rings determine the type of sound the tube makes when the alounloun is struck against the ground.

	\|Angle Harp\|\|String \|\| \|\|The harp is a form of very simple harp formed of a hollow resonator and a single, obtusely curving arm that sports a small array of strings. It is normally played by holding the resonator against the body or ground while the strings are plucked.		\|Angle Harp\|\|String \|\| \|\|The harp is a form of very simple harp formed of a hollow resonator and a single, obtusely curving arm that sports a small array of strings.

			\|Kalimba\|\|Percussion \|\| \|\| The kalimba consists of a wooden board with attached staggered metal keys. The kalimba is played with the smallest finger of the right hand placed through a hole in the bottom right corner of the kalimba's body, stabilizing it. This leaves the right hand free to manipulate the keys while the left hand holds the instrument allowing the left thumb to play the keys. This instrument is always made of wood, while the keys that vary in number from three to eight, are always made of metal.
⚫	\|kalungu\|\| Percussion\|\| Gor'Tog \|\|Also referred to as a 'talking drum', the kalungu is an hourglass-shaped drum with one side smaller -- the Kokau Waai or Little Brother and the other larger, called Itukwana Ami or Big Sister. A uniquely [[Gor'Tog\|Toggish]] invention, the tensioning ropes along the drum provide a modulation of pitch when squeezed. Used historically to communicate between clans and villages, the drum is often used presently in storytelling and rituals important to Toggish clans now that present day has made travel easier.

It's strung horizontally in 24 courses over two separate bridges with the strings attached on one side by hitch pins and on the other by small tuning pins. The soundboard has two holes that lend a rich resonance and tonal quality to the instrument's sound.

The level of water within the chamber creates a tonal sound that resonates throughout the instrument. Traditional zuceira are made of clay, wood, bone or coral but can be made of any suitable material.

			\|Psalmodicon\|\|String \|\|Dwarven \|\| A single-stringed instrument, the psalmodicon consists of a long box which houses its chromatic fretboard. The fretboard itself contains up to twenty-five semitone positions allowing the single string to give off a variety of tonalities and notes. Depending on size, the psalmodicon may be played like a fiddle, or while seated with the instrument across the lap. The psalmodicon gained popularity in Dwarven culture because of its simplicity, ease of use and its peculiar metallic tone which is thought to have reminded Dwarves away from home of the sound a pickaxe makes when hitting ore.

	\|Sistrum\|\|Percussion \|\| Elves \|\| An instrument that encompasses all [[Elves\|Elven]] cultures and clans, the sistrum consists of a handle and U-shaped metal frame, usually made of brass or bronze as these produce the best sound conduction, but any metal is acceptable. When shaken, small rings or loops of thin metal on moveable crossbars produce a sound that ranges from a soft clank to a loud jangling. The effect produced by the sistrum in music -- when shaken in short, sharp, rhythmic pulses -- is to arouse movement and activity. Therefore, the sistrum has been traditionally used in celebration dances and other high-energy activities.		\|Sistrum\|\|Percussion \|\| Elves \|\| An instrument that encompasses all [[Elves\|Elven]] cultures and clans, the sistrum consists of a handle and U-shaped metal frame, usually made of brass or bronze as these produce the best sound conduction, but any metal is acceptable.

It is played with felt-headed mallets, and creates a range of tonal effects that allows for a skilled musician to display significant variety in the resultant music. Thought to be one of the oldest examples of a Human instrument made, legend also tells of larger versions of the marimba that required up to as many as five musicians playing in tandem -- however no such examples have yet to be unearthed in any archaeological excavations.
