guembrri : It is composed of a round wooden handle, sometimes turned and sometimes polychrome, which sinks into a pear-shaped monoxyle poplar resonance box, the soundboard of which is made with stretched dromedary skin. This box, about 20 to 35 cm long, can also be made with the shell of a turtle. The three strings originally made of gut were gradually replaced by nylon fishing line. The wooden dowels are knife-edged or roughly turned. A sistrum (sersera) is inserted into the handle. The musical spectrum is placed in low frequencies. The sintir has three strings* but no pegs to tighten them. Instead, there is a process of leather or nylon links, similar to those found on the Kora. The sound box has a more rectangular, almost square shape, with rounded corners, decorated with upholstery nails, and can measure up to 55 or 60 cm long and 10 to 15 cm wide. The (broomstick) handle ends in a metal plate with rings that act as cowbells. The set is more than a meter long.
