- Description: The Ugubu was a popular instrument with the Zulu of Natal several generations ago but few are now left in Natal. With the exception of one or two minor details this instrument is in the same as that of the Zulu. The chief modification is the use of a straining bridge to increase the tension of the bark string. This bow was made of a length of Tete reed 5 ft. 2 1/4 inches long and about 1 1/4 ins. diameter, and had an unusual method of straining the single string. There was a small bridge inserted between the reed and the string near the lower end and the resonating gourd was attached by means of a wore which also acted as a moveable tuning device dividing the string into two segments. The top segment was 3 ft. 10 ins. long and emitted a note of 71 vs. (81 vs. when stopped by clasping between the finger and thumb). The lower segment was not used. The interval between the two notes used is 220 cents. Self delectative song with Ugubu, musical bow, stressed and resonated
