- Description
- A pretty little instrument of Makua origin from the northern end of Mozambique, one of many brought into Zanzibar by migrant labourers. The instrument is unlike most Mbira in that the metal notes are bent at right angles and pierced into the body of the reasoning box at one end, thus doing away with the neccessity for straining bar and bridge. The notes must therefore be tuned by filing and not as with other Mbira by lengthening or shortening. Irimba solo with Irimba x 7 notes
