Setolotolos

Scope note

Mouth bows of the southern Sotho of southern Africa, consisting of a thick straight stick with slender flexible ends notched at their extremities to hold a wire string; a loop of gut pulls the wire string towards the center portion of the bow, dividing it into two unequal sections yielding fundamentals a fourth apart. The string is plucked and stopped by hand.
