Goge; spike fiddle

Goge, one stringed spike fiddle. The body is a hemispherical gourd, with a lizard-skin table that is nailed to the gourd with small wooden pegs. There is a single round soundhole in the skin. The single string of horsehair is attached to the bamboo neck with a leather thong. A noose of leather and cord secures the string to the spike, where the neck emerges from the distal end of the body. The bridge is missing.
