- Description
- The message sent out on this occasion was to call people to come and dance. The Chondo slit drum was made from a hollowed log through a slit, with a rectangular hole at each extremity of the slit. The drum, or gong, is rested on a circular insulation pad as the whole instrument vibrates after the fashion of a xylophone note and the sound would be deadened if it rested directly on the ground. Message calling people together with Chondo slit drum.
