Tultul is a musical instrument unique to the Bunun tribe. It is usually made of 8 to 16 wooden pestles of different lengths. The pestles are struck against a stone slab to produce beautiful melodies with different scales. Back in the day, the Bunun tribal people also used it to deliver messages.

Harmonica is a common musical instrument for all indigenous peoples in Taiwan, but the occasions of using the instrument are different from tribe to tribe. For the Bunun people, it is a tool for expressing emotions when they are lonely or sad.

Another instrument unique to the Bunun culture is the 4-string lute (or 5-string at Takibakha) which is used for entertainment. Bow harp is also another popular instrument of the Bunun tribe. Bamboo is used as the bow and thin steel wires are used as the strings. A player holds one end of the instrument with his mouth, holds the bow with his left hand, and plucks the strings with his right hand to produce melodious and delicate sounds.

The vocal range of Bunun's Pasibutbut (Eight-part polyphony) is unique to the world, and it brings the Bunun music to the global stage.
