- Description: The tune is based upon a song which says that Kalagala was a chief in Busoga who caught and killed the Kabaka's messengers. The Kabaka sent an army in return to destroy him and his people. Feeling has always run high between the Ganda and Soga peoples, the former living on the west and the latter on the east side of the river Nile where it emerges from Lake Victoria Nyanza. The approximate sizes of the drums were:- Ntamivu, big drum, 25 inches across, 37 inches tall. Naku, medium drum, c. 14 inch head, 19 inches tall. Njongo, small drum, c. 12 inch head, 17 inches tall. Tall laced drum. c. 10 inch head, 39 inches tall. The Naku (-14.22301-) was played with the hands, the others (-14.22303-) were played with beaters. The tall drum stood beside the very large Ntamivu and both were played by one man. The tuning of the xylophone was:- 776, 688, 608, 520, 456, 388, 344, 304, 260, 228, 194, 172 v.s. This gives intervals within the octave (from 344 to 172) of 214, 271, 227, 280 and 208 cents. Two instrumental tunes with loose note xylophone and 5 drums (-14.99-), laced, conical.

- Description: Tune based upon a traditional song. "I warn you that I have no power over the grave, now you are dead." Both this instrument and the other xylophone at the Lubili (palace) had been brought in from different parts of the country. They were both slightly out of the tune, it was said. The shape of the individual notes was interesting having two lugs protruding from the lower side to prevent the note from jumping out of place over the two banana stalk supports. The notes are kept in place laterally by their wands about 3 feet long which are sharpened and stuck into the soft stalks between each slat. 1248, 1120, 928, 832, 728, 624, 560, 464, 416, 364, 312, 280, 232, 208, 182, 156, 140. Instrumental tunes, with Madinda 17 note xylophone, loose notes on banana stalks, 3 players.

- Description: One of the royal bands, the flautist, failed upon a certain occasion in their musical duties at the Kabaka's Lubili (palace). They were condemned to death but they pleaded with the Kabaka for leniency as the people of the village from which they came, Bira, had once saved the Kabaka's son, a service which had in the first instance earned them the honour of becoming the royal flautists. The Kabaka (King) forgave them and set them free. This story is the subject of the lyre behind the drum tune here presented. Six drummers play these 15 drums. Four the main set of 12 drums, and two others the three bass drums. The melody of the tune is well brought out both at the beginning and the end of the performance. Drum tunes. Set of 15 Entenga tuned conical drums, laced, closed, single.
