Description: This is the only bow of its kind I have seen with a mirliton of spider's nest on the top of the resonating gourd. The song is supposed to be sung by a man who is visiting a woman in her hut and says "Below the fire so that I can see your face." Played with a stout section of grass. Love song with Kalumbo one-stringed, braced, gourd resonated bow, with mirliton.
