- Description
- This instrument had ten notes set on two banana stalks with sticks pierced into the stalks to divide the notes. The deep trumpeting of the ground hornbills in the early morning and evening is a well known feature of the low lying regions of the country. The reiterated low note represents the hornbill's call, "Ri-riti, ri-riti." Tune without words. Loose note xylophone.
