  • Description: Herdman's tune from the highlands on the eastern border of the Congo where the hills run alongside the great western rift opposite the Ruwenzori mountains. This remarkable player was somewhat 'simple' herdsman. He plays his flute all day to his cattle and has developed, they say, a distinct style of his own. He is inclined to hum while he plays and his voiced notes can be heard forming a celeste with those of the flute. The player was given a 'Highly commended' prize in the 1952 Osborn Awards for the best African musicians of the year. The first four tunes were copied frim discs in the Reference Library as the original tapes were not available. Nyamulera flute, 4 holed, notched.

  • 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.
