The Tboli have a variety of musical instruments to accompany singing and dancing or to be played just to produce music. Instrumental music is utom; vocal music is lingon. The sounds and music made by these instruments are said to imitate nature, such as the sound of the gushing river, falling rain, crying baby, and the shouting of men. An utom is titled according to the object it imitates; thus, utom luk mutul is the composition sound of the rice mill and utom tkak mnaul is the composition of the cackling of the mnaul bird). Utom are either handed down from their ancestors or improvised to express their own feelings and experiences.

Playing musical instruments is done both for leisurely purposes or special occasions. These instruments can be classified according to the way they are played: the tenbol ne bnogul (beaten and pounded instruments) are the klutang (log drum); tnonggong (deerskin drum); klintang, a set of eight gongs played by men and women on festive occasions; and the blowon gono smagi (suspended gongs).
