tambourine
The body of the instrument is a round wooden bowl. The membrane is stretched against a tension ring wrapped in black and red patterned cloth resting on the outside of the bowl, over which a net of twisted vegetable string is spread. The flattened bottom of the shell is covered with a piece of skin. Long arms diverging towards the crossbar. Six strings. Ball rings that bind the upper string ends together with thick cords of twisted fabric strips. The lower string ends are tied to an iron ring, which in turn is attached to a skin strap extending from the membrane lacing to the top of the body. A high, angular wooden bridge with string guide notches. Two large, round membrane openings to the right and left of the tailpiece ring. An iron cuff on one longitudinal arm. The bird feathers are not preserved. All the yoke arms were wrapped in red fabric, covered with strings of beads in different colours and provided with bead-like fabric pads at regular intervals. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
