Description: Tune based upon a traditional song. "I warn you that I have no power over the grave, now you are dead." Both this instrument and the other xylophone at the Lubili (palace) had been brought in from different parts of the country. They were both slightly out of the tune, it was said. The shape of the individual notes was interesting having two lugs protruding from the lower side to prevent the note from jumping out of place over the two banana stalk supports. The notes are kept in place laterally by their wands about 3 feet long which are sharpened and stuck into the soft stalks between each slat. 1248, 1120, 928, 832, 728, 624, 560, 464, 416, 364, 312, 280, 232, 208, 182, 156, 140. Instrumental tunes, with Madinda 17 note xylophone, loose notes on banana stalks, 3 players.
