- Description
- This Gubu bow seems to be related to the Zulu 'Ugubu' in name, but Natal would be called Makweyena. The bow was tuned to two fundamental notes 93 and 74 vs. with a stopped note of 98 vs. It was 5 ft. 7 inches long and the stopped note was produced by pressing the knuckle of the second finger of the right hand onto the string. "You have seen a young man waering feathers." Praise song with Gubu stressed musical bow.
