Opening Paragraph Alexander Mayunge's father was, before he died, headman of Mayunge Village in the Lala area of Northern Rhodesia—that is, some 100 miles east of Broken Hill. He was a professional Kalimba maker, and Alexander his son, to whom I am indebted for the facts in this essay, used to help him. Mayunge used to make all kinds of Tulimba—the K ankoŵela , the Ndande , and the Tulimba-twa-masaŵu : he also made Malimba which, among the Lala, means single-note xylophones.
