The kubing is a type of Philippine Jew's harp of bamboo found among the Maguindanaon and other Muslim and non-Muslim tribes in the Philippines and Indonesia.The kubing is traditionally considered an intimate instrument, usually used as communication between family or a love one in close quarters. Both sexes can use the instrument, the females more infrequently than males who use it for short distance courtship. <ref>Mercurio, Philip Dominguez (2006).
