The Maguindanaon suling is the smallest bamboo [[flute]] of the [[Maguindanao]]n and the only one classified as a ring-flute (the other two bamboo flutes of the [[Maguindanao]]n, the [[tumpong]] and the [[palendag]] are both [[lip-valley flute]]s). Air is passed through the suling via a blowing hole found at the bottom of the instrument and pitch is controlled via five finger holes on the top and one finger hole located on the bottom. Traditionally only the [[palendag]] was commonly played but because of the difficult nature of playing the [[palendag]], both the [[tumpong]] and the suling have come to replace the [[palendag]] as the [[Maguindanao]]n’s most common aerophones.<ref>{{cite web|last=Mercurio|first=Philip Dominguez|year=2006|url=http://www.pnoyandthecity.blogspot.com|title=Traditional Music of the Southern Philippines|work=PnoyAndTheCity: A center for Kulintang - A home for Pasikings|access-date=June 12, 2006}}</ref>
