A long - necked strumpmed lute found amongs Dusunic peoples. It's made of jackfruit wood with two or three brass strings.

The sundatang of the Panampang Kadazan Dusun, the Lotud - Dusun ( who call it gagayan ) and the Rungus are more widely played than that of the Kadazan Dusuns of Tambunan. The Tambunan sundatang has a small body and a neck over one meter long.

It can be played for personal entertainment or as a dance accompaniment ( in the Tambunan magarang and in Tuaran where it sometimes played in pairs ).
