idioglot clarinet, flute

Flute or idioglot clarinet system of the Ifugao people of the Philippines, mentioned in Blench & Campos (2010): “the use of the three-hole idioglot clarinet, ip-iip, in duets between courting couples. Both a man and woman would have an instrument and they would exchange phrases interpreted on the clarinet. In Amganad, a three-hole duct flute is substituted for the clarinet” (8).
