Barungs with Carabao Horn Ferrule
Greetings everyone. I'm just wondering if anyone has samples of barungs with carabao horn ferrules. I've seen a couple of samples during posts of yesteryears, but they were too few and far in between. I hope some kind-hearted souls here can allow a peek into their carabao-horn ferrule beauties =) thanks in advance!

Hello Ron,
Your's looks really interesting and seems to be a real Moro version rather than one of those styles which tend to get associated with Borneo and thereabouts. Regards, Kai |

Here's my example.
BTW, only barung or also other Moro pieces with horn ferrule? Regards, Kai |

Indeed. I have no barung with horn ferrule, though I do have a couple Gunongs with horn ferrules that I'd be happy to show pics of. Thanks, Leif |

Thanks for these wonderful samples everyone! I was just curious as I've never seen or held one in person.
