- Description: Chimveka, they say, are only played at the end of the harvest season when there is plenty of food. In time of famine these pipes are never heard. Bands of small Chopi boys can often be seen out in the bush capering around in a tight circle, heads close together and blowing their flutes almost into each others cars. They seem to enjoy the excessive noise at close quarters. The scale of the flutes would appear to be arbitrary and does not correspond with the scale of the Timbila xylophones. The tuning of this set of pipes was:- 632, 592, 544, 488, 412, 372, 348 vs. giving intervals of 112, 147, 188, 148, 145, 177 and 115 cents respectively. Reed end-blown pipes, with rattles and stamping.
