Keledi
Wind chamber made of a bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) pierced with 8 bamboo pipes, arranged in two parallel ranks of four tubes each. The ends of the tubes sealed inside the wind chamber are equipped with free reeds. One of pipes is plugged and has a hole on the side. The pipes are secured with rattan and have a canvas reinforcement cloth that might have been a later repair (connection between pipes and gourd is usually sealed with a black resin/wax mixture).
