Traditional instruments from Alderaan were known as Alderaanian flutes. The "Tialga Hath Fallen" air, an Alderaanian melody, was typically performed using them. During the funeral of Admiral Cha Niathal on Coruscant in 43.5 ABY, the Galactic Alliance Navy Drum Corps played this air, although sequential bells were used in place of the Alderaanian flutes. Javis Tyrr, a journalist covering the funeral for the HoloNet, observed and reported on the replacement of the flutes with bells.
