This musical instrument is named Harp Kora which was
made a few years ago by Dennis Havlenathe. It comes
from Africa. Harp-Kora is a double-sided harp that is
strung when it is played. There are 10 strings on the right
side and 11 on the left side. This Harp-kora is over 31
inches tall. Two handles provide a very solid way of
holding for the player, when playing the instrument. The
Harp-kora's tone is resonant and beautiful, with good
volume as well. The metal strings and wooden sound box
give it a bit different sound from harp-like voice. The
shape of Kora looks like a traditional sundanese musical
instrument, “Kecapi”
