Description from the seller

Les lamellophones (ou linguaphones) sont une famille d’instruments de musique dont le son est produit par la vibration de lamelles flexibles (ou languettes), généralement métalliques, fixées à une extrémité sur un support rigide. Leur mise en vibration s’effectue le plus souvent par pincement, mais peut aussi, plus rarement, se faire par frappement. Seconde partie du 20ème siècle.
Les motifs gravés en X sont caractéristiques des Chokwe.

Patine sèche d'usage.

Hauteur 16 cm X largeur 9,5 cm X profondeur de la caisse 3 cm. Poids 155 g.
