This is another example of the widespread type of Cameroonian grassland lamellophone consisting of three halves of raffia leaf with mounted raffia tongues, known as type II of the Cameroonian grassland lamellophone. The "board" is made up of three halves of raffia leaf stalks joined together. The following organological characteristics point to type II: - triangular bridge, - fastening technique of the raffia lamellae to the board by lacing, with simple separation of the lamellae from each other, - irregular arrangement of the reeds, - tuning method by gluing on tuning wax. Another special feature is the number of reeds, which originally totalled 14; two have been lost and three reeds have broken off. The three raphia half-tubes that form the body are held together by horizontally pierced pins.
