A long round wood - half strongly curved - with two slightly pointed ends. One wire string [present]. A string end looped into a double loop and pushed over the tip of the stick [also]. On the other side, a loop of electric cable bridging the distance between the string and the end of the rod. A spherical calabash resonator open at the bottom. A wire loop running round the bar and the string and tied to a crosspiece inside the resonator. Between the rod and the resonator [is] a cushion ring wrapped in fabric. from Ulrich Wegner: Afrikanische Saiteninstrumente, Staatliche Museen Berlin - SPK, 1984 (Appendix Object Catalogue)
