KGT 75-76: A third category of Klingon instrument is the {SuSDeq}, the windbag or bellows type. A {SuSDeq} has a flexible bag, usually made of animal skin, which is alternately filled with and emptied of air. This air passes over strips of various materials ({joQmey}), which vibrate as the air goes by, producing the musical tones.
Note that {joQ} also means "rib", of which Klingon have 23 (cf. KGT p.126-27).
