tambourine
The body of the instrument is a round wooden bowl. A tensioning cord made of twisted plant material, which tensions the membrane against a skin strap ring resting on the outside of the bowl. Longitudinal arms diverging towards the crossbar. Six strings. Tangle rings that bind the upper string ends together with thickly twisted fabric cords. Two outer strings moved closer together. The lower string ends are tied to a loop of twisted vegetable material that extends from the back tension ring to the top of the body. A high, square bridge with six string guide notches and an unused centre notch. Two large, round membrane openings to the right and left of the bridge. The long arms are each hung with an iron clapper bell, wrapped in coloured fabric with strings of beads of different shapes and a ribbon embroidered with beads of different colours. Bird feathers tied to the yoke bars. A hanging, empty (amulet) pouch. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
