Muscians in the Kenyah-Kayan region of north-central Borneo play the sapeh, a distinctive plucked lute whose body is open at the back. Sapeh are usually made in pairs with both instruments ideally being fashioned from the trunk of the same tree. The instruments are typically strung with three or four wire strings, the lowermost of which is used to play the melody while the strings above it provide a drone-like accompaniment. The sapeh is most often used to accompany dances such as the musuh (a stylized fighting dance performed by two men with swords and shields), the ngajat (a solo war dance performed by a man or a woman), and several types of line dances. However, it can also be played purely for entertainment.

The Sape' (sampek, sampeh, sapek) is a traditional lute of the Kenyah and Kayan community who live in the longhouses that line the rivers of East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Sapes are carved from a single bole of wood, with many modern instruments reaching over a metre in length.
