"SAID BY MAKER TO BE INTERMEDIATE IN SIZE, BUT THIS IS SOMETHING OF A ANOMALY IN THAT IT COMBINES A CHARATERISTIC FOUND ONLY AMONG APINAYE (THE TONGUED-REED), WITH A SIZE AND PROPORTION OF PARTS CLOSER TO THE KRAHO TRUMPET, WHICH IS ALSO SUGGESTED BY THE LINGUISTIC REFERENT. THE LAGENARIA GOURD IS CUT AT BOTH ENDS. THE BAMBOO SHAFT IS THRUST DOWN THE NECK OF THE GOURD. THE INTERIOR END IS CLOSED, BUT THERE IS A CUT MIDWAYD OWN THE SHAFT, FROM WHICH THE SHAFT WAS SPLIT, TOWARDS THE MOUTHPIECE. THE EXPOSED END OF THE SHAFT HAS A WOVEN COVERWORK BOUND TO IT.
