- Description: This flute is unusual in that it is made from a single section of banboo 28 inches long by 3/4 inches. The bamboo grows on the higher slopes of the Ruwenzori mountain just above the homes of the Konjo people who live on the foothills below. The first finger hole is 17 inches from the mouthpiece notch. The four holes are played by the first and third fingers of each hand, the thumbs and second fingers holding the flute. Bamboos on the Ruwenzori are said to grow as much as 14 inches per day, which makes them ideal for making flutes as the distance between nodes is long. Nyamulera dance for men with Nyamulera four holed end blown notched flute, two conical drums, laced, single, played with hands.

- Description: The raft zither is made out of eight palm midribs joined together. The string is continous being tuned from the high note downwards by straining the first then making up the slack in the second and so on. The tuning therefore is apt to be uncertain but conforms to the general mode. The music of the Pango is accompanied by dancing by three men, one having small bell rattles (Nzisi). When the player makes a pizzicato all the dancers bend down and make a 'ha-aa' sound in rhythm. The raft zither is about 22 inches long between the bridges. Tuning:- 352, 332, 296, 252, 212, 166, 198. This tuning is unusal in that the 7th note is higher than the 6th instead of being the lowest on the zither. Nganya dance tune for men and women.
