Beautiful composition! Thanks for uploading! They also have similar bamboo tube zithers in the Philippines, known by a variety of names like Sludoy, Serongagandi or Kolitong. they differ from the Rotinese Sasandu in having the strings carved out of the bamboo surface and raised up with wooden bridges. plus as far as i know, the Philippine versions don't have resonators :)

it sounds like what he is playing is so heart felt, I'm sure it's a traditional song but it sounds great

He's really good at playing that. :)

What a lovely song.
