- Description: The double headed drums may be beaten at either end according to the pitch of note required by the player. The metal bells are pod shaped 3 long and are fixed onto wooden handles. They are similar in shape to most dancing bells in Southern Africa which are worn elsewhere as anklets. The dancing of the Sudanic tribe of Zande people is most attractive. It is a round dance in which the movements of the dancers are not exaggerated but the routines are subtle and complex. The slit drums in this region are made with feet and do not need insulating from the ground as with the simple cylindrical slit drums elsewhere. The feet emerge from the body of the slit drum at nodel points and so do not interfere with the resonance of teh drum. Bagbele dance , with large slit drum, footed, 3 double headed cross laced conical drums, 4 pairs metal bells on carved handles.

- Description: These Ngombi Likembe (Mbira) are played with the instrument slung from the players shoulders. They are too large and heavy to be to be held between the hands as with the majority of this type and as a consequence the bamboo reeds or tongues are plucked downwards with the tips of the fingers with open palms. It is used as a rythmic rather than a melodic instrument. In our experience only the Pedi of the Northern Transvaal in South Africa play this instrument in a similar manner. The instrument is resonated on a large closed wooden bowl, oval in shape, 17 inches long and a tail 2 inches long. A triangular sound hole is cut into the flat top immediately beneath the free ends of the bamboo notes. It is tuned to a pentatonic scale of the following notes in order from left to right. 296, 148, 268, 134, 228, 200, 178, 256 vs. If 134 vs. is the Tonic, it would indicate thah the player is using both the true harmonc 4th (178 vs) and 5th (200 vs). The beating of the bamboo pole sounds almost like marching feet, and both this and the Ngombi are drowned by the strenght of the voices. Ngbandi dance with 2 Ngombi likembe with bamboo notes, and a long bamboo pole, beaten by several men.
