- Description: This tune is also an attempt to transpose a popular guitar tune well known in Southern Congo and elsewhere onto the Likembe (Mbira) of the district or vice versa. This is made possible by the fact that locally the Bira tribe uses a heptatonic scale. Duet on the Likembe, (Mbira) - Sanzo apido (treble) x 20 notes, and Sanzo ababo (bass) x 22 notes.

- Description: This is an attempt either to transpose a well known guitar song to the traditional instrument of the district or is the original folk tune itself. The sanzo ababo has a very wide bridge, 8 and half inches, possibly the widest of all the Mbira family. The notes do not take up all this space as a large gap of about 2" is left between the notes played by each hand, Nos. 1-11 and 12-22. Duet on the Likembe, (Mbira) - Sanzo apido (treble) x 20 notes, and Sanzo ababo (bass) x 22 notes.
