This last Msitso being a repeat of the first Msitso has not been featured on the discs for lack of space. Tuning: 496, 456, 412, (368), 372, 336, 308, 276, 248 vs. The note 368 vs. was cracked and went flat. In spite of Shambini's attempt to correct it by thinning the ends, it proved too badly broken and was exchanged for a more taken from another Timbila (372 vs). Orchestral introductions with 6 Timbila xylophones, 4 Sanzhi (alto), 1 Debiinda (bass), 1 Gulu (double bass) and 1 Njele (rattle).
