 * **Instrument** || **Description** ||
 * Clapsticks || A singer holds a pair of wooden sticks, one in each hand. One long and slightly flattened stick is generally grasped in the middle and held flat. The other stick, more rounded and held towards the end, is brought sharply and cleanly on to the first to make a percussive rhythm. ||
 * Boomerang clapsticks || These have a similar function to clapsticks - at times they may be shaken to provide a continuous rattle, as well as being beaten together. ||
 * Handclapping || Handclapping and slapping various parts of the body are used by singers of both sexes, sometimes as a substitute for a pair of sticks. ||
 * Percussion sticks || A set of three or four wooden sticks hit with another stick (sometimes referred to 'gongs'). ||
 * Percussion tube || A hollow log drum used with particular ceremonies. ||
 * Other percussion || These include a stick beaten on a shield, a stick beaten on another stick lying on the ground, and the women's bark bundle hit on the ground. ||
 * Rasp || The Kimberley Tabi songs are accompanied by a rasp. A notched stick, or the side of a spear thrower is scraped by a second, smaller stick. ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Rattle || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Island style songs from Cape York may be accompanied by the rattling sound of bunches of seed pods shaken in the hand. ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Bullroarer || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">A piece of wood attached to a long string which is swung around to produce a roaring sound ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Skin drum || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">A single-headed hour glass shaped drum, whose head is made from lizard or goanna skin, is used on Cape York with traditional songs and island dance. The open end is sometimes shaped like the mouth of a crocodile. ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Didjeridu (yidaki) || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The didjeridu provides a constant drone on a deep note, somewhere between D flat and G below the bass clef. This drone is broken up into a great variety of rhythmic patterns and accents by the skillful use of the tongue and cheeks. Many different tone colours are achieved by altering the shape of the mouth cavity and the position of the tongue and by shutting off various parts of the anatomy which act as resonating chambers for the human voice. The greatest skill of a didjeridu player lies in the use of two entirely different notes, which are alternated in rapid succession to form complex cross-rhythms. These two notes are pitched a major tenth apart, the upper note being the first overtone. ||
