content: CALLED A RODEKU, THIS IS A TOY, A REDEFINITION GIVEN WHEN SEVERAL MEN PRESENT TRY IT OUT AND NO ONE CAN MAKE IT WORK (I.E. PRODUCE SOUNDS); THESE MEN ARE HU?TOKOT, ALUI AND AIYO, WHO ALSO OFFERS THE OPINION THAT IT DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE THE CORD IS IN THE WAY (RUNNING FROM BASE TO TOP), THAT IT NEEDS TO BE KNOTTED AT EACH END INSIDE. THIS INFORMATION IS INTERESTING, BUT NOT ACCURATE, IN THAT ANOTHER FLUTE WITH THE CORD RUNNING THROUGH THE CENTER DOES SOUND. BUT AIYO IS CORRECT IN INDICATING THAT THIS CORD ARRANGEMENT IS UNORTHODOX." BODY IS A TUCUM NUT SHELL. THERE ARE COMMERCIAL YELLOW COTTON STRING TASSELS BOUND WITH TUCUM ON EITHER SIDE. THEY ARE ATTACHED WITH TUBULAR RED, WHITE, AND BLUE BEADS. PRICE PAID: .50 CRN. UNUSED. SEE ACCESSION RECORD FOR CENSUS INFORMATION. MADE BY TE?NATULU, AN 18 Y/O FEMALE
