gabo/gaba
A smooth, only slightly curved round wooden stick with tapered, perforated tips, once for the purpose of tying the strings. [Consists of two knotted string sections made of twisted leather or twisted animal sinew fibre. [Also] A calabash resonator open at the bottom and tied to the stick. Cross-wood binding inside the calabash [are present]. [As well as] a padded ring wrapped in cloth. Probably no tuning loop [present]. A small mallet [given] and a piece of a thin calabash spout [used] as a finger cover. The latter [functions] to strike a rhythmic accompaniment on the resonator (Balfour 1899: 31-32). from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
