Well, those three brown log things on the right could be {Sor Hap 'In}:
KGT 74-75: The general term for a percussion instrument of any kind is {'In} [...] The {'In} itself may be made [...] entirely of wood ({Sor Hap 'In}, wood 'In). One kind of {Sor Hap 'In} is a tube, open on both ends, with a longitudinal slit extending not quite to either end. It is hit with a {mupwI'Hom}.
That coiled red tube on the far right could be some kind of wind instrument, perhaps played by squeezing what looks like a blue rubber bulb on the end.
