- Description: "A leopard has eaten Rantshilane. It held him, it ate him. Oh! Mokampa--wee!" The pitches of the 19 flutes were as follows:- 1728, 1568, 1280, 1136, 864, 760, 664, 584, 432, 380, 332, 292, 224, (216)? 194, 172, 144, 108, 98, 84. The pitch of each pipe can be varied by the player both by the position of the lips and tongue over the emboucher and by the force of the wind, especially noticeable in the higher pitched pipes. The general mode adopted can be gauged roughly but few conclusions as to a Tswana pipe scale can be made from this evidence alone. No names other than Tswana numerals were given to the pipes except to that of the leader playing the highest pipe - Mutenyane. Pipe dance with ensemble of 19 "Ditlhaka" flutes.
