Babandil or Babandir, in the Philippines, is a kind of musical instrument. It is part of the so-called Kulintang Ensemble. The other instruments included in this ensemble are the Kulintang, Agong, Gandingan, and Dabakan. The Babandil is a small metal gong that is struck by a wooden stick on its side producing a high-frequency sound. It serves as the pace-keeper in the ensemble. It is usually played first when starting kulintang music.
