Hawai'i has a rich musical heritage that is carried on in the rhythmic beat of the ipu and resonant pounding of pahu drums at hula performances throughout the Islands. While many of the musical instruments that accompany hula today can be traced back to early Polynesian roots, others-including the ipu heke (gourd drum), ipu hokiokio (gourd nose flute) and 'üliuli rattle-are considered to be uniquely Hawaiian, found nowhere else in the world. Here the manufacturing processes of eighteen traditional Hawaiian musical instruments are documented with carefully researched instructions and step-by-step photographs in an easy-to-follow craft guide. Includes: ipu, ipu heke, uli uli, puili, ili ili, kala'au, puniu drum and ka, pahu drum, ulili, ohe ka'eke'eke, papa hehi, ukeke, oeoe, nose flutes, and conch shell trumpet. |
