[Description] This wooden instrument, native to Trinidad, consists of a square or rectangular box about eighteen to twenty inches high with a hole, six inches in diameter, in its centre. A detachable pole is positioned on one corner of the top of the box. From the centre of the box, a string of nylon or jute is attached to the top of the pole. Notes are achieved by varying the angle of the pole and moving the fingers, which depress the string along the pole. The sound is emitted through the hole in the front of the box. [Instrument]
