The opening of the cup is pressed against the chest and the string is tapped with a straw or wooden stick. (The round, wooden string carrier tapers towards its two, strongly curved ends. The string is wound around the tips several times, but is only knotted into a loop around the other. The support of the bar on the resonating body, a semicircular calabash, is protected by a padded ring wrapped in strips of rattan. A loop of woollen cord encircles the string and the string carrier, passes through the centre of the padded ring and a perforation at the apex of the calabash's curvature and is tied to a crosspiece inside the calabash. The calabash is glued at several breaking points. A slanting stick is not preserved. (Ethnomusicology file card) A round wood that is strongly bent open and greatly reduced in circumference at both ends. The string is made of twisted animal tissue and tied at one end with a drawstring and at the other end with multiple wrappings.

A padded ring wrapped thickly with rattan strips between the rod and the calabash. The string [is] beaten with a straw or wooden stick.
