Description: | The horsehair of the bow is rubbed with beeswax before the instrument is played.
Goge, one stringed spike fiddle. The body is a hemispherical gourd, with a lizard-skin table that is nailed to the gourd with small wooden pegs. There is a single round soundhole in the skin. The single string of horsehair is attached to the bamboo neck with a leather thong. A noose of leather and cord secures the string to the spike, where the neck emerges from the distal end of the body. The bridge is missing. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | gourd wood Hausa spike fiddles vegetable fibre leather hair skin | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-12168 |
