- Description: "The woman refuses food, but the child wants to eat some maize." The microphone started beneath the instrument and was moved above when he started singing in order to show the difference of tone between the upper and lower surfaces of the resonator. It is interesting to note that unlike the Likembe Mbira further south, the resonator of this instrument is broader at the top than at the bottom, i.e. the bridge end is the broader. The scale was:- 332, 308, 280, 252, 228, 204, 184, 166 vs. Self delecatative tune, with Marimbe Likembe, box resonated, 18 notes.

- Description: This hunting flute melodies improvised by the player as he sits iutside the hut of a dead friend have a strange fascination. They are played, they said, during the burial feast or wake. A woman can be crying in the background as in mourning. The method of blowing this pipe is interesting. The open, square cut end to the bamboo pipe is partly closed by the tongue, the wind being expelled out of the side of the mouth across the edge of the bamboo. The tongue is used to give a vibrato effect but the purity of tone is marred by the strong edge tone. These tunes, they say, are frequently used for lamenting the dead, and the player will sit all night outside the hut of his dead friend, improvising flute tunes throughout the hours of darkness.

- Description: "Kikuyu's pen." The Moran is the attractive Nandi dance where they link arms in a circle and step sideways to the music while others enter the ring and leap like a coiled spring straight into the air. It requires few words to keep the rhythm going. The words in this case, they said, had little meaning referring possibly to pen weilded by a certain Kikuyu clerk. They rise steadily in pitch during the song. Moran dance song for men.

- Description: "Kikuyu's pen." The Moran is the attractive Nandi dance where they link arms in a circle and step sideways to the music while others enter the ring and leap like a coiled spring straight into the air. It requires few words to keep the rhythm going. The words in this case, they said, had little meaning referring possibly to pen weilded by a certain Kikuyu clerk. They rise steadily in pitch during the song. Moran dance song for men.
