- Description
- The four drums used were 1) Mutumba, an open conical drum 37" tall, 11" membrane; 2) Jenje, an open cylindrical drum 14" tall on three legs with 10" head; 3) Miningo karipi-karipi, another conical open drum 25' tall with 9 and 4 quarter head; and a small closed drum, Usindi, 11" tall with 7 and a half head, on a three legged pedestal. The player of the two drums, Mutumba and Jenje, used his right heel to raise and lower the pitch of the Jenje as it lay on the ground beside the longer Mutumba, playing only with his hands. The other two players used sticks. The reeds were imported from the Salisbury district as no such reed grows in this district, they say, except in the Mazoe river nine miles away which was not so good as these. Four sets of end blown flutes (--11,325--). (1) 3 tied together. Katero, pitch 784, 744 and 680 vs (4 and a half" - 5") (2) 3 tied together. Shauriro, 680, 600, 552 vs (5 and a quarter , 6 and a quarter) (3) 2 tied together. Dendera, 504 and 448 vs (7", 7 and a half") (4) 2 tied together. Madobi, 416, 384 vs. (8 and a half, 8 and 3 quarters). Gororambe dance with end blown pipes, drums and rattles.
