Plastic strings stretch from the neck, where they are held by staggered leather thongs, to a wooden bridge near the bottom of the body, meeting several cotton strings that are used for tightening. A thin braided leather strap is connected to the bottom of the body and partway along the neck.
Stringed musical instrument. A long squared neck of wood, carved with several sets of diagonal lines, pierces the top of a round, hollow gourd, emerging as a short peg on the opposite side. Two long wood pins pierce the neck, each holding a metal string that stretch to make contact with a small wood bridge on the gourd, and extend to wrap around the peg. The bridge is glued to a piece of skin stretched over a large hole in the top of the gourd, attached with small wood pins. Gourd is decorated with carved lines in the shape of foliage.
