Custom Kamalen Ngoni- 8 String Hunters Harp in Boise, ID

Description:

This ngoni (nn-GO-nee) version, known as kamel ngoni (or kamalen ngoni), is part of the family of hunters lute-harps of the Mande people in West Africa. The kamel ngoni is similar to the kora in that it has a calabash gourd body, hand posts, notched bridge, and neck, but only has 8 strings. The instrument is played facing the musician with one or two hands on the hand posts, with fingers and thumbs plucking the open strings. This kamal ngoni was built by Karim Koubassa, Master Instrument Builder, from Guinea, West Africa , who now resides in Seattle WA.
I am asking for $350 or best offer for local pickup or add $80.00 shipping with insurance.
