The 'resin' of the reed bow is spittle and needs renewing between each verse. This is done by swiftly passing the bow over the tongue of the player. The palm leaf friction pad is made by winding a strip of leaf onto the single string near its resonator at a convenient spot for bowing.

- Description: His Bango is unusual in that it has two tin resonators, one at each end. He played the strings with his left hand and beat a simple pulse on one of the resonators with his right hand and miming the action at the word "Ndito", 'truly'. For the second song he turned his Bango round and held it at right angels pointing away from him touching the strings with his left hand and striking them with his right.
