A small #kora I saw at the fleamarket in #Dusseldorf in Feb. Much smaller than the ones you see people play on youtube, so I'm wondering if the small versions are real instruments or just made as souvenirs for tourists visiting #WestAfrica. Any clues? I've seen at least three of this size in recent years, bought one of them, but haven't set it up yet. https://www.flickr.com/photos/michaelgrr/55122349337/in/dateposted-public/ #musicalInstrument

Heute ein sehr interessantes Instrument auf der Setup-Station.
Das ist eine westafrikanische Kora, aus Gambia. Das traditionelle Instrument der Griots oder Jalis (Sänger und Geschichtenerzähler). Gibt es seit hunderten Jahren, das Einzige, was sich verändert hat, sind die Nylonsaiten. Früher waren das Darmsaiten.
Sehr schöner Sound, irgendwas zwischen Harfe und Laute, aber sehr eigenständig.
