Bamboo Beater (Pacco/Tingianen)
Text
To beat the beat on the march.
"A peculiar device [?] Used solely by the women in the bunkaka. This consists of a bamboo tube with one end cut away so as to leave two thin vibrating strips. These, when struck against the palm of the left hand, give out a note which can be changed by placing a finger over an opening. " (Cooper Cole, Fay: The Tinguian. 1922: 441 fig. 26,2) In the piece shown, the finger hole mentioned is in the middle of the grip ladder.

Sensitive Content
Mapping Philippine Material Culture collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards Filipino and Filipino diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Mapping Philippine Material Culture’s views. Mapping Philippine Material Culture maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
