Definition

  • Strings are stretched between fixed points across the mouth of a rigid trough. The strings are often formed from a single length threaded through several holes. The trough has a gourd or a similar object as a resonator attached, which is not integral and can be detached without destroying the sound-producing apparatus. (en)
