Concept information
Definition
- A single or double stretched string is fixed at one end to a handle. At the other end it is attached to a membrane covering a hole cut out of the base of a resonator, resembling a drum. The string bearer and resonator are organically united so that they cannot be separated without destroying the instrument. The plane of the string lies at right angles to the membrane. By adjusting the handle, the player braces the string to alter its tension and change its pitch. (en)
