This link: [ref name="The Hawaiin Drum: Pahu">Kalei, Kalikiano. "Pahu Niu: The Hawaiin Drum". Authorsden.com. Retrieved 17 September 2012.</ref] was generating a blacklisted error on the page so I removed it.Jihadcola (talk) 19:40, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

I square-bracketed the link so it would stop showing up at the bottom of the page. Heavenlyblue (talk) 01:42, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Niu

It is not clear why the term "niu" (meaning "coconut") is mentioned in this article as there is no apparent connection between "niu" and "pahu." 173.89.236.187 (talk) 20:59, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

I suppose, the preference for coconut wood. Heavenlyblue (talk) 00:24, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

The pahu was a large oblong piece of wood

From the page Pā: "Standard features included a community well for long term supply of water, designated waste areas, an outpost or an elevated stage on a summit on which a pahu would be slung on a frame that when struck would alarm the residents of an attack. The pahu was a large oblong piece of wood with a groove in the middle. A heavy piece of wood was struck from side to side of the groove to sound the alarm." This special-purpose, all-wood type of pahu should be added here. Does anyone have further knowledge of this? Heavenlyblue (talk) 00:30, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
