Nzumari
Played on the East African coast, the nzumari is characterised by its compact body and slightly shortened finger hole spacing. A strongly curved, carved lip support made of coconut is attached to a metal sleeve wrapped in raffia, above which is the mouthpiece made of four palm leaf lamellae, which is traditionally made from local grasses. The instrument has four tone holes, but no thumb hole.
