How to develop Janzi from scratch
Unlike traditional Ugandan harps that typically feature a single neck and a set of strings in a single plane, the Janzi is a double-neck harp. The Necks: It consists of two symmetrical necks carved from sturdy wood. String Layout: It features 22 strings (11 on each side). This dual-scale system allows for a much wider range of notes and the ability to play complex harmonies that are difficult on a standard single-neck harp. The Sound Box: The base is a hollowed-out wooden resonator, traditionally covered with animal hide (often cow or goat skin) to amplify the vibration of the strings.
