Antique African arched harp

SKU: 03647

Antique African arched harp, specifically identified as an ennanga from Uganda.

It consists of a shallow wooden soundbox covered with a stitched leather membrane and a curved wooden neck.

It typically features eight strings made of plant fiber or gut, which are tightened using wooden pegs.

Small reptile-skin rings are placed beneath the tuning pegs; the strings touch these rings to create a characteristic buzzing sound. Such instruments were traditionally used by the Ganda people.
