- Description: This flute is unusual in that it is made from a single section of banboo 28 inches long by 3/4 inches. The bamboo grows on the higher slopes of the Ruwenzori mountain just above the homes of the Konjo people who live on the foothills below. The first finger hole is 17 inches from the mouthpiece notch. The four holes are played by the first and third fingers of each hand, the thumbs and second fingers holding the flute. Bamboos on the Ruwenzori are said to grow as much as 14 inches per day, which makes them ideal for making flutes as the distance between nodes is long. Nyamulera dance for men with Nyamulera four holed end blown notched flute, two conical drums, laced, single, played with hands.

- Description: These horns, Makondere, are made of horn and of calabash gourds combined, bound together with skin (mostly cows tail) to keep the joints tight. They are cut open across the small end where a finger hole makes two notes possible on each horn. The mouthpiece is cut rectangularly on the side of the horn near the small end. These Makondere horn bands are now played upon special occasions at the chief's place. In the old days, they say, they were played after fighting when they came to report to the chief how they had fared. Victory song, after fighting with Makondere side blown horns, 1 conical laced drum (-14.22303-), 1 cylindrical, footed, pegged drum (14.01101-).

- 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.

- Description: This drum tune is taken from a song about a simple country lad who wanted to go and work for the Kabaka (the native 'King' of Uganda) as his servant and yet to remain faithful to his obligations both to his family and his ancestral ties at home. The set of royal Entenga drums are kept and played in a separate courtyard of the Lubili palace. In this recording the separate parts are brought out one after the other. Each drummer plays his allotted drums from the treble player down to the deep bass player while the others continue to strike the side of their drums with their beaters. The first four men play 3 drums each. The fifth plays one drum, and the sixth plays the two deepest toned bass drums. Drum tune. Set of 15 tuned conical drums, laced, closed, single.
