khalam
A long, slim, boat-shaped instrument body made of wood. A folded, nailed-on membrane with a large, round opening in the rear top section. The string support is a round wooden stick. A calabash with seven string guide notches is attached to the end of the spike, which ends in a single point and pierces the skin twice. Seven nylon strings attached to the neck on individual leather strap windings and together on the spit extension. Two long strings running towards the tip of the neck and five shorter strings stretched out towards the base of the neck. The string rest in the bridge notches is "padded" with woollen cords. The free ends of the woollen cords are tied to the spit or interwoven behind the bridge. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
