Sapeh

Sapeh, also spelled sape, sapeʼ, sapek, sapeik, sapeq, sampeh, sampeʼ, sampek, or sampeq () is a traditional string instrument of Borneo-origin that developed in northern, eastern, and central regions of Kalimantan and Sarawak. It is a wooden-base instrument with strings attached, and works in a manner similar to the guitar, typically made of Bornean ironwood.

Since the 1950s, these string instruments from all across the Indonesian Archipelago have been officially recognized by the Indonesian government as one of the national Intangible Cultural Heritages of Indonesia in the domains of Traditional Skills and Crafts, Community Customs, Rites, and Celebrations, Performing Arts, as well as Traditions and Expressions of the Natives, and has been digitized since at least 2010. Some native Dayak maestros of these musical instrument are highly respected by Indonesia and have been awarded (), such as Mr. Arang from Bulungan and Mr. Irang Awai from Kutai. Sapeh was also played with a bow like the Western cello.
