Boat lutes are an important part of the music history of the Philippines. The major names of the boat lutes are kudlung and kudyapiq. Some trace the origin of the name from the Indian kacchapi and Sanskrit kacca which means turtle. The scales used by the instrument varies with a scale with whole steps used for music inspired by nature (D,E, F#, A, B, C#, E, F#, G#, B, C#, E) and music with half steps inspired by human emotions (D, E, F, A, B, C, E, F#, G#, B, C#, E) (Maceda 1998). Below is a picture of the Gawad Manlilikha ng Bayan Samoan Sulayman playing the boat lute.
