[Instrument constitué] d'une caisse de résonance formée par une demi-calebasse de grande taille - 60 à 70 cm de diamètre - tendue d'une peau qui enveloppe largement sa partie convexe à laquelle elle se trouve fixée par des clous de cuivre. Un orifice circulaire s'y trouve pratiqué à proximité du manche (...) Un long manche en bois cylindrique est fiché dans la caisse; y sont attachées vingt et une cordes en boyau - certaines métalliques -, à l'aide d'anneaux de cuir coulissants. Un chevalet de grande taille (20 cm de haut) porte dix encoches sur un de ses champs, onze sur l'autre - divisant les cordes en une double rangée (ce qui peut conduire à considérer l'instrument comme une harpe double). Enfin deux courts bâtons, servant de poignées, sont fixés dans la caisse, de part et d'autre du manche. 1, record 3, French, - kora
