The information is sufficient for us to get acquainted with the ethnic musical instruments in Malaysia brought on by the different races. The information
will be a good guide to educators and music lovers.
-Bahizal Abu Bakar

It requires a great deal of effort to collate information on the different types of ethnic musical instruments in Malaysia . Not only it is difficult, it is also
very time-consuming....it could only be done by someone who has a deep academic knowledge in music.
