content: From card: "Donor's remarks: "Two specimens of a sort of Guitar called by the Fang Muet, pl. memuet. In the middle of the street of a Fang town at intervals of about 150 yards are "Palaver houses". Here the men spend their abundant spare time quarreling, disputing, and telling stories and fables. The muet and the next instrument (No.5) are played continuously while the story telling is going on."
