Description: A player was sorry when his friend finished his food so he sat down to sing to his Chisanzhi Mbira. It is not easy to understand the relationships between the pitch of the instrument and the pitch of the players voice. It appears to be consistant and must therefore bear some relationship in his mind. The scale of his Chisanzhi was:- 424, 380, 344, 304, 280, 266, 232, 212 vs. The tips of the players fingers were constantly moist and sticky and he kept a supply of dry sand beside him to rub on his finger tips before playing. Personal laments, with Chizanzhi Mbira
