Ancient resident of Earth, bamboo predates people by some 100 to 200 million years, so: Flutes came before people! One bamboo culm leaning against another rubbed holes the wind whispered through; Birds pursuing bugs or building nests drilled other 'notes' in other internodes... Long afterwards the human race came wandering down the path of spontaneous mutation and built its villages beside the groves. Bamboo, moaning in the windy midnight, made melodies that seemed played by spirit fingers, strange lips... a ghost orchestra of ancestors come to mumble down the long tube of dreams.

Someone then, inspired by the seemingly haphazard processes of nature, experimented opening holes in adjacent internodes of the same culm. This practice of making these 'bulu perindu' or weeping bamboos has persisted in Malacca and on some of the Oceanic islands (Guadalcanal, Maewo, New Britain). In this region of the world human music is often played upon rows or bundles of bamboo pipes and stamping tubes of bamboo struck against stones or on the ground.
