Description: "If ever I have a man out in prison I shall take him to the tribunal first." The tuning of bamboo notes is not easy as with metal notes on account of the nature of the overtones produced by bamboo. The tuning of these Ngombi Likembe was not quite the same as in the previous items, the reeds of bamboo from left to right was 236, 152, 212, 138, 200, 182, 166 and 332 vs. which gives a heptatonic scale:- 332, (304), (276), 236, 212, 200, 182, 166, 152, 138 vs. The top of this bowl shaped likembe was sewn onto the body which was made from a solid log hollowed out like a bowl with an 8" handle. The body was 21" broad and 7" deep. Topical song with Ngombi Likembe with bamboo notes.
