- Description
- The Sansi was fixed onto the Chigubu resonator by three point suspensions, 2 at the straining bar and 1 at the foot, all secured by bark string. The Njela (s. and pl.) reeds were made from the spokes of an umbrella and the player said that in times past the reeds used to be made of bamboo. "I married three girls, later I found that all three were unfaithful to me so I decided to marry one fully grown woman instead." Tuning:- 704, 584, 520, 448, 384, (352 missing), 332, 292, 260, 224, 176. This pentatonic sansi mbira is mounted in the mouth of a gourd resonator with a number of pieces of tin as buzzers, Mangwere, attached to two thirds of the periphery of the gourd. Self delectative song, with Sansi mbira
