40 cm high and 12 cm wide kora from Mali. It is made with half a pumpkin covered with goat skin that works as a resonance-box, and three sticks going through it. The two shorter sticks are used to hold the instrument with both hands, and the third one, larger and in the middle, tautens the ropes, which are separated from the pumpkin by a piece of wood. PRICE: 10 euros. |
