The traditional musical instrument consists of Kulintangan, gong, and many of small gongs. Asmahs claim that the Bisaya are supposed to be the best gong musicians. It is as if somebody just beats the gong and everyone-men, women, young and old just starts to dance. All these instruments are used in the wedding ceremony, celebrating very important people etc. Besides the musical items, the Bisayas are able to make good weapons for various purposes. There are andiban, sumpit, parang, keris and knife.
