The peg box is a cylinder of wood with slot hollowed out of it, fitted with two mushroom-shaped pegs. The instrument terminated with a turned finial. The strings consist of a number of strands of horsehair, bound round the pegs and attached to an iron hook that passes through the spike just below the resonator. A piece of tape is tied around the upper part of the neck to act as a nut. Flat bridge - a drone instrument. Bow: Heavy stick with a slight outward curve and shaped to an octagonal section at the point. Arched blocks of wood act as frog, the hair is secured by copper(?) ferrules at the ends.
