The tuning of this deep bass zither is as follows:- 152, 136, 126. 118, 105, 101, 93 vs. The deep drawing in of breath of this old performer can be clearly heard throughout the recording. The trough zithers are like long bowls of wood with the strings stretched along over the hollow of the highest note downwards, the friction of the string caught in slits at either end of the trough is enough to retain the tuning for quite a while before returning is necessary. The structure if the phrasing of the accompaniment can be well observed in this recording. Praise song for chief with Nanga trough zither, 7 notes.
