Attached Resonator - Lamellophones

Lamellophones are various kinds of plucked idiophones and are sometimes referred to as thumb pianos.  The word, ‘lamellophone’ means plate or tongue sound.  They have existed in Africa for thousands of years. The tines (lamella) were originally made of bamboo but over the years metal keys have been developed.
