Sansa
A sansa is a little African flick instrument, made of flathammered nails fastened to a
board. the nails may be moved a little, allowing to tune the instrument. To improve the sound
of the instrument, it is sometimes placed in a hollow calabas shell.
How it works:
The tone is determined by the length of the svinging body. It can be adjusted to fit
the right tone. The tone is transmitted to the base.
