Abstract

The Kiganda bowl‐lyre endongo, a member of an East African family of lyres, is generally played by a singer for self‐accompaniment Here it is examined with reference to its construction; method of toning its equipentatonic scale; suitability of its non‐linear tuning for playing the traditional rapid patterns; simplification of accompaniment to facilitate vocal improvisation; links between features of spoken language (pitch, duration) and vocal and lyre melodies.
