The ekidongo is a type of arched harp from Uganda, also known as the adungu, with varying sizes and string counts. It is played by the Ganda people and numerous other people of Uganda. This ekidongo has six metal strings that run from a center metal rod covered by animal hide, in the middle of the hallow wooden resonator box and attaches to tuning pegs along the arched neck. The wooden body with a somewhat flat end is covered with animal hide on the top only.  The roots of the arched harp family, like the Burmese saung gauk, can easily be seen.

Traditionally the ekidongo is used by the numerous peoples in Uganda in small ensembles or to accompany singing, tell stories, and has also become a solo instrument.
