Description: A certain Gombolola chief named Mulavu is said to have ordered his people to uproot the groundnuts and other crops of the people nearby. They naturally objected, and reported him first to the Saza county chief and then to the District Commissioner who severly reprimanded him. The tuning of the instrument was, 248, 220, 202, 174, 144, 130, 110, 101 but the order of the notes themselves on the instrument does not follow the sequence of the scale. Topical song, with Ntongoli 8 string lyre.
