- Description: This cider is made from the fruit of the Caju tree, (also spelt Cazhu and Cashew). The fruit consists of an apple, which is fermented for cider, and an external nut, the cashew nut, which is attached to the tip of the apple in a crescent shaped pod. The nut itself is edible but the hard pod in which it is encased is impregnated with virulent oil which must first be expelled by fire or distillation before the nut can be cracked open. It now forms an important part of the local economy. The cashew apples rippen in November and their harvest marks a time of annual indulgence for the Chopi and is frequently mentioned in song. Drinking song.

- Description: Chimveka, they say, are only played at the end of the harvest season when there is plenty of food. In time of famine these pipes are never heard. Bands of small Chopi boys can often be seen out in the bush capering around in a tight circle, heads close together and blowing their flutes almost into each others cars. They seem to enjoy the excessive noise at close quarters. The scale of the flutes would appear to be arbitrary and does not correspond with the scale of the Timbila xylophones. The tuning of this set of pipes was:- 632, 592, 544, 488, 412, 372, 348 vs. giving intervals of 112, 147, 188, 148, 145, 177 and 115 cents respectively. Reed end-blown pipes, with rattles and stamping.

- Description: "He is weeping for his palm trees which have been taken by others, although he planted them, it as a punishment for what he has done." An unusual kind of song no doubt overlooked on account of the Timbila music. All the people standing around began to join with the song as it was clearly well known. The player had equipped himself with a couple of sprigs of shrub with about half a dozen long and slender dry seed pods. This he used as a gentle rattle for accompaniment. It was the first of its kind I had seen. Lament with Seed Pod rattle.
