Description: | Valiha is also the name for a type of bamboo in Madagascar. Modern instruments use bicycle brake cables as strings, with bridges arranged in different positions along the length of the bamboo tube.
Valiha, tube zither. The instrument consists of a length of bamboo including two nodes and a short section beyond each. Eleven idiochord strings are split from the outer skin of the bamboo. These are raised by small rectangular bridges of wood or bamboo, and the ends of the strings are strengthened by bands of fibre. One string is broken and there are two long splits in the wood. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | valihas Family and Home | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-16558 |
