- 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: "Gitamale is a greedy girl." The Kipango, Bango or Bangwe is a popular instrument from here southwards into Nyasaland. The instrument is partly by the construction on its back of an open box which gives the board both extra strength and a little more resonance. The string is made of tendon and is continous, being tuned from the high note to the low on order, the tension on the lower note in each case holding the higher segment in tune. In contrast to the Ligombo, the Kipango is a more simple instrument, the player thrumming two chords produced by stopping alternate strings with the fingers of the left hand. Self delectative song with Kipango 6 string board Zither.
