Instrumental - lamellophone Lamellophone Tabwa with a...

Very widespread in Central Africa, this traditional African musical instrument or sanza consists of a resonant board on which metal tines of varying length have been fixed. The thumbs of both hands rest on the small board to make the forward ends of the tines vibrate. In Zaire, however, where all fingers are used as on a piano, groups of instruments play on complementary registers. The instrument may also accompany a singer at times.
