The body shell is an almost longitudinal oval, curved calabash shell. Skin strap tensioning the membrane against a skin tensioning ring resting on the underside of the shell. Longitudinal arms diverging only slightly towards the crossbar. Five wire strings. Ball rings that bind the upper string ends together with vegetable string. The lower tailpiece is a wire loop which extends from an iron crossbar on the outer wall through a wall and membrane perforation to the top. A transverse iron nail protects the contact point between the wire ring and the membrane. Attached to the longitudinal arms is a double holding cord (fabric/woollen cord) and a small, boat-shaped plastic pick. An angular wooden bridge. A round perforation in the centre of the bowl curvature. Eighteen small, almost symmetrically distributed membrane perforations. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
