- Description
- "All right! let him go and get himself married, he is far too young but let him try. He will come howling home again." "Hullo, marry! Let him go and marry. And he will come back howling." The Tangara bowed lute had one string. It was tuned by means of a tuning peg and a straining loop of string for more a accurate pitch. From straining string to bridge was 13 inches and the lute itself was two and a half inches overall. The resonating body was five and half inches tall gourd with a hole pierced in one side. Self delectative song with one-stringed stressed lute Thangara.
