Definition

  • The substance of the instrument itself, owing to its solidity and elasticity, vibrates and radiates sound. A lamella, i.e. elastic plaque, fixed at one end, is flexed and then released to return to its position of rest. The lamella is carved within a rod- or plaque-shaped frame and depends on the player's mouth cavity for resonance. The base of the lamella remains joined to the frame. India, Indonesia, Melanesia.
