Kulintang a tiniok

Also called kulintang a putao (Maguindanaon), sarunay, salunay, salonay, saronay, saronai, sarunai (Maranao)

The kulintang a tiniok is a type of Philippine metallophone with eight tuned knobbed metal plates strung together via string atop a wooden antangan (rack). Kulintang a tiniok is a Maguindanaon term meaning “kulintang with string” but they also could call them kulintang a putao, meaning “kulintang of metal.” The Maranao refer to this instrument as a sarunay (or salunay, salonay, saronay, saronai, sarunai), terminology which has become popular for this instrument in America. This is considered a relatively recent instrument and surprisingly many of them are only made of tin-can. Like the kulintang a kayo, its used only for self-entertainment purpose in the home, to train beginners on new songs before using the kulintang and in America, master artist have been training students en masse on these instruments.
