I have found instruments of this type in both babisa and balenge. It's called by both of these people for mbira. This copy is made up of and 38 cm. high resonant bottom of gourd, around the mouth of which four sticks are fastened with the aid of a resinous substance. Between these pegs, a flat wooden rod is placed in a horizontal position, as shown in the figure. When you hit the wooden stick with a drumstick, it is produced a dull, puck-like tone. The drumstick (fig. 250), which has a length of 29 cm., is wrapped at one end with fabric.
Ankermann has described a similar thing in his doctoral dissertation instrument (Fig. 171), which he calls «Totentrommel der Mangandscha». That the mbira drum was also used on other occasions than in case of death is clear from the note I made about this instrument: »Mbira is played when someone dies, and when you have shot wildly and cooks meat. »"
