Harp sounds
Like no. 324, [VII f 91] but with only six strings, which are nailed to the neck in pairs under three strips of skin. Three string cords which are turned round in the spout of a skin loop which acts as a lower tailpiece and extends from the neck to the top. The folded membrane is nailed under a circumferential skin strap. A crescent-shaped, carved extension at the free end of the neck. Cowrie shell overlays there and on the top of the body. The entire instrument is dark coloured. Several skin strap windings to seal the entry point of the neck into the resonator. Produced for export. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
