Sape
Sape is a traditional Indonesian musical instrument, specifically a type of lute, originating from the indigenous cultures of the Dayak people in Borneo. It typically features a long, narrow body made from wood and has two strings, which are usually plucked to produce melodic sounds. The instrument is often used in cultural performances and ceremonies, showcasing the rich musical heritage of the region.
The Sape is not only a musical instrument but also a symbol of cultural identity for the Dayak communities. It is often played during celebrations and gatherings, helping to preserve traditional music and storytelling. The craftsmanship involved in making a Sape reflects the artistic skills passed down through generations.
