    The document discusses two traditional crafts from North Cotabato: kulintang and gong. Kulintang is a type of instrumental music played using a row of small horizontally laid gongs that function melodically and are accompanied by larger suspended gongs and drums. The gongs are meticulously carved from wax molds that are then filled with clay and hardened before the wax is melted, leaving the clay molds that form the base for the brass instruments. Gongs are round pieces of metal, usually bronze or brass, that are hung in a frame and sounded with a stick to produce loud, deep sounds used musically or to signal events.

    NORTH COTABATO

    CRAFTS: KULINTANG AND GONG

    KULINTANG

    Kulintang is a moderm term for an instrumental form of music composed on a row of small,
    horizontally- laide gongs that function melodically, accompanied by larger, suspended gong and drums.
    Kulintang meticulously carving the design and patters on wax-mold. These wax-molds are then melded
    over with clay. It would take more than a couple of hours to hardened under natural environmental
    conditions. When the clay is hard, they are cooked over a fire for the wax inside the clay to melt. These
    clay molds would then be the base for the brassware. They are only used once since they have to break
    them once the brass dries up inside.

    Gong

    Gong a round piece of metal that hangs in a frame and makes a loud deep sound when it is hit with a
    stick. Gongs are used as musical instruments or to give signals, for example that a meal is ready. Gongs
    are made mainly from bronze or brass but there are many other alloys in use. Gongs produce two
    distinct types of sound. A gong with a substantially flat surface vibrates in multiple modes.
