66 Charles M. Camp and Bruno Nettl Anthorpos 50. 1955 All of these types have in common a bow stave more or less in the shape of the hunting bow with certain exceptions, one string made of animal vegetable, or mineral material, and a hollow or open resonator. Either the mouth is used for the resonator or it is made from metal containers, cans, pots, etc. of European make, or from gourds, animal skin bags, and native vessels of shell, pottery and wood. Bows with separate resonators were found among six groups of people south of the Belgian Congo ; the Chwana, Hottentots, Berg-Dama, Bushmen of Angola, Tonga, and Ba-ila. The Chwana and Hottentot use a relatively large U-shaped bow with the strings made of sinew. The Berg-Dama (Damara) instrument differs only slightly, using a simple bow with a hollow block of wood as resonator. Among the Ila two large deeply curved bows are used, both placed on a pot. According to Smith and Dale, “She (the performer) twangs with both hands holding the cord of one bow between her lips to vary the tone.” This would suggest that the mouth is used as an additional resonator. However, a picture of such a performer shows the chin being used to stop the string and, as this is the manner played by the Tonga * directly to the south of the Ila, this instance of the mouth resonator seems doubtful. The double bow does not seem to appear in Southern Africa outside of Northern Rhodesia. The other remaining instance of Type I is found among the Bushmen of Angola. However, here the performer uses an ordinary hunting bow with the string tied back (braced) to the stave. This instance is of interest as it shows a possible transitional form between Type I and Type II, bows with resonators attached. The first variant of the latter, an unbraced bow (the string not tied back to the stave), is very widespread in Southern Africa. According to Kirby, it is a bow of solid wood or cane, fitted with a string of twisted hair, sinew, leather, or wire, which is struck by a thin stick, reed, or grass. A resonator of calabash (gourd) is permanently fixed to the lower end of the bow. This type is widely distributed, being found among the Chwana, Tonga, Sotho, Swazi, Zulu, and Xhosa. It is also found to the north ; in Angola (no tribe specified), among the Ovambo and Anyanga. The Basutos use a stave made of mountain bamboo and the Zulu, Tembu, and Pondo sometimes use a tin can resonator. The second variant of this type is a braced bow; i. e., the string is tied back to the stave. It is made of solid wood, fitted with a loop of wire, sinew, or fiber cord near the center of the string, at which point a calabash resonator is secured by that loop. The string is struck by a thin stick, reed, or grass. It is found only among the Venda, Tschopi, Thonga, Transvaal Sotho, Swazi, and Zulu, Ba-Ila, Lamba, Balubedu, and Bakwebo. The Ovimbundu have this instrument but use the mouth as an additional resonator. The Chopi have the largest braced bow (two meters in length, maximum) and, in addition to the main resonator, hang rattles of tin or calabash to the shaft of the bow.
