He stretched animal hide over the shell opening and attached antelope horns as posts. A similar instrument with a skin soundboard called the ban_gan_nna, is a large eight or ten-string lyre, made of a trapezoidal wooden frame fitted with a skin soundboard. Some believe this is the instrument King David played to temper the ravings of King Saul. The ban_gan_nna's bass vibrations are said to bring peace to the soul. The instrument, associated with the Ethiopian Coptic Church since the 4th century, was played primarily at Christmas and Lent.
