What is the national musical instrument of the Netherlands?
The angklung is the national musical instrument of Indonesia.
Angklung is a musical instrument made out of two bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame. The tubes are carved so that they have a resonant pitch when struck. The two tubes are tuned to octaves. The base of the frame is held with one hand while the other hand shakes the instrument rapidly from side to side. This causes a rapidly repeating note to sound. Thus each of three or more angklung performers in an ensemble will play just one note and together complete melodies are produced. Angklung is popular throughout Southeast Asia, but originated from Indonesia and it has been used and played by the Sundanese since the ancient times.

Is there an artist named R Snapper from the Netherlands and do his paintings have any value?
There is a Reinier Snapper (b. 1907) from the Netherlands. A few of his pieces have been sold at art auctions, but it is difficult to obtain info on the selling prices without joining an art evaluation website, which usually charges a membership fee.
First of all, you have to make sure they are original paintings. Through my own research, one painting 27X29 was auctioned off for $1708.00. Another auctioned around 1997 for approx. $1900.00. You may want to check out Worthpoint.com or call your local art museum and check with their research dept.
