The string often needs a new palm leaf friction pad and the pitch of the tonic or string note may be changed frequently. The 'resin' of the reed bow is spittle and needs renewing between each verse. This is done by switfly passing the bow over the tongue of the player. The palm leaf friction pad is made by winding a strip of left onto the single string near its resonator at a convenient spot for bowing. It serves not only as a friction pad but also protects the bark string from wearing away at that spot. The player was interrupted by the poor performance of his instrument as the palm lead friction pad on the string was not behaving as he liked and he murmured so during the song. In the old days the Karigo lute was a favourite instrument of the wandering minstrel who would entertain the people with singing and dancing.

This lute is peculiar to the district. The stick which forms the neck of the lute is pierced right through the gourd body, protruding about 5" on the opposite side. The single string is attached to the tip of this end, passes over the membrane on the gourd and a bridge (which is also made from pieces of gourd and is attached by means of a short piece of wire to avoid losing it when the instrument is slackened off after playing) and is attached at the nut end to a short fork in the stick which effectively prevents slipping. It is played by means of a short bow with sisal fibre.
