Kato
Dhad
Algoza
Bughdu
Dhad: Dhad is a small percussive instrument of the damru style. Held in one hand, it is struck on the either side, the other hand holding the skinned sides vertically or horizontally. The player keeps on tightening or loosening the strings while playing to modulate the sound.This instrument has been very popular with the dhadies who sing traditional ballads of brave warriors and heroes drawn from history. With dhadis it is mostly accompanied by a sarangi.
Algoza: Algoza consists of a pair of wooden flutes. The algoza is also called jori (a pair) and is played by one person with only three fingers on each side. The folk singers of Punjab use algoza in their traditional legend singing like Mirza, Chhalla, Jugni etc. The instrument is also used as accompaniment with folk dances.
Bugdu: The bugdu is a simple, single-note string instrument; the bowl may be made from a whole gourd or wood covered with skin. Into this sound-box is set a long stem on which the string is stretched. One type of bagdu has a thick string with a weight attached stretched from the middle of the gourd.
Kato,also spelled as Kaato or Katto, is one of the traditional musical instruments of Punjab.It is used in various cultural activities specially in folk dances like Bhangra,Malwai Giddha. Kato literally means squirrel in Punjabi and named after its design similar to squirrel but used as a symbol of happiness.
