mbilas (<xylophones: gourd-resonated>, xylophones, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Xylophones of southern Africa with gourd resonators, each having a hole in the side covered by a membrane; when the keys above are struck, the air in the gourds vibrates causing the membranes to sound a buzzing tone. |
