A type of traditional musical instrument or possibly a regional term for a bell or resonant percussion instrument.
Of uncertain origin, possibly from African or Asian language sources. The term appears sporadically in ethnomusicological texts.
Words like 'dongon' that appear once or twice in obscure texts are like archaeological artifacts—they hint at music and instruments from cultures that didn't leave many written records!
