**** '''Đàn tranh''' (a long zither with sixteen strings and high, movable bridges. The strings are plucked with plectrums attached to the fingers of the right hand, whle the left hand is used for ornamenting the notes by pressing the strings. Through Chinese ancestors, this instrument is closely related to the Japanese koto.)
**** '''Đàn nhị''' (a stringed instrument with a small, cylindrical body, covered at one end with snakeskin. The bow passes between the two strings and the instrument has no frets. Strings are stopped directly with the fingers. This instrument is also of Chinese descent but has relatives all over Asia.)
**** '''Đàn tam thập lục''' (a relatively recent imported addition to Vietnamese instruments. A dulcimer with thirty-six trings, struck with two small rubber-clad dubs. It has many counter-parts in various countries, such as the "santoor" in India and also the "cimbalon" in Hungary.)
**** '''Đàn bầu''' (a single stringed instrument (monochord) of Vietnamese origin. The string passes over an oblong body (about 80 cm) and is attached to a tuning screw at one end. The other end passes through a small "wooden funnel" and is attatched to a curved stalk. It is plucked with plectrum, and at the same time, with the back of the hand, attenuated at its exact points of division, viz 1:1, 1:2, 1;3, 1:4. By bending the stalk with the other hand and in this way varying the tension of the string, one can achieve various part-tone series and all notes are available. Nowadays the dan bau is mostley played with a small electric amplifier and loudspeaker, so that its faint tone will be audible in the orchestral context.)

**** '''k'long pút''' (a folk instrument from the central highlands. A number of differently tuned thick bamboo tubes, open at one end, are playedby the musican clapping his slightly cupped hands in front of the different openings.)
