Description

This is a typical gourd-resonated, frame xylophone set used in Western Africa. It has fifteen wooden keys attached and suspended with hide lacing on a trapezoid-shaped wooden frame with arched struts at each end. Each key has a respective, graded-size gourd resonator underneath (four missing), which has a circular opening to receive a mirliton membrane.
