Sompoton is popular among Kadazan Dusun people. This mouth organ is the most fascinating of the Sabah native musical instruments. It is constructed from a dried gourd and eight bamboo pipes arranged in a double-layered raft. One of the pipes has no sound, but merely balances the bundle. By blowing or sucking the gourd's mouth, the player can produce a soft sweet harmonious sound. While playing a sompoton, the player covers and uncovers the ends of the pipes with fingers. Sompoton can be played as a solo instrument or in group.
