Presumably had there been a sixth string it would have been tuned to 198 the lower octave of the top note thus giving a pentatonic scale. Self delectation song with Bonguma horizontal, arched harp.

The end blown flutes were kept for the use of the Pygmies by the Bantu of the Nande tribe who live just outside the Ituri forest, but consider they have proprietary rights over the Mambuti and their activities whenever they come out to the edge of the forest, ordering them about like unpaid servants. This set of pipes, end blown flutes, appear to have been made by the Nande and not they Pygmies themselves. They cannot therefore be said with certainity to reflect the innate scale of the Mambuti but rather of the Nande. The embouchure is the shape commonly found in these districts being made by two cuts of the knife, one short (held against the lower lip) and one long. Dance tune. Ensemble of 10 Luma pipes, the second tune with two laced drums and rattles.

- Description: Herdman's tune from the highlands on the eastern border of the Congo where the hills run alongside the great western rift opposite the Ruwenzori mountains. This remarkable player was somewhat 'simple' herdsman. He plays his flute all day to his cattle and has developed, they say, a distinct style of his own. He is inclined to hum while he plays and his voiced notes can be heard forming a celeste with those of the flute. The player was given a 'Highly commended' prize in the 1952 Osborn Awards for the best African musicians of the year. The first four tunes were copied frim discs in the Reference Library as the original tapes were not available. Nyamulera flute, 4 holed, notched.
