Custom Guinea Bolon West African Traditional Instrument

This is a Bolon, a hunter's instrument with soul-stirring deep bass, custom-ordered and crafted in Guinea.

It is said to be the origin of the Dunsankeni rhythm (three drums played with sticks), an essential part of African bands, and I've heard it's the world's first stringed instrument. Its characteristic is its wild and deep (bass) sound.
It's also perfect for practicing Doundounba rhythms (playing three vertical drums vertically by oneself).

On the Sesay (metal ornament) at the top, I personally engraved and applied a Bogolan (mud-dyed cloth) pattern that I was fond of at the time.
It probably has some meaning, but I don't know what it is (lol).

I've cherished it for many years, but as it is an old item, I hope it goes to someone who appreciates vintage items. It will be sold as-is, but in return, its authentic aura is incredible.
It would also be great to enjoy it by the campfire outdoors, playing along to your favorite music.
Since it's an open-stringed instrument (African harp), even children can play with it, as long as they are not too rough.

I re-strung the bottom two strings myself.
It's easy – just wet them and tie them up.
The tension applied by a Japanese person for the first time is superior to the tension applied by an African person (lol).
