Comments:	This njari has a consecutive range of ten bass keys, arranged in a way that the three common left index+thumb octave combinations can be played in both their normal position or an octave lower. Recorded Feb. 2021 by Phillip Nangle. Phillip notes about the tuning: The tuning is called “kwangoma chuning”. I arrived at it by ear using a hexatonic karimba from Chris Mhlanga, Harare as the starting point. The octaves are quite stretched. It evolved over many years by what pleased my ear.
