This beautiful cousin of the harp comes from Kenya and has a historical pedigree that you wouldn't believe. Its lineage includes King David and the Jews, the ancient Egyptians, the Canaanites, the San people of Southern Africa, and a Japanese lady! The influences that led to this instrument, and that this instrument led to are an extraordinary study of ancient musicology. But what I really want to show you is how you can play this thing in different ways than the traditional way to get some use out of it for your multi media compositions. This is one of my most cherished instruments and I'd love to share it with you:)
