- Description: The string often needs a new palm leaf friction pad and the pitch of the tonic or string note may be changed frequently. The 'resin' of the reed bow is spittle and needs renewing between each verse. This is done by swiftly passing the bow over the tongue of the player. The palm leaf friction pad is made by winding a strip of leaf onto the single string near its resonator at a convenient spot for bowing. It serves not only as a friction pad but also protects the bark string from wearing away at the spot. Karigo dance song for men and women with one string Karigo lute
