My 4-string Berber Loutar

Hey everyone!

Just got this Berber Loutar from Morocco (4-string version, cedar body with goat skin top)

Does anyone here play Loutar? Any tips on tuning, string action, or learning resources?

Also curious how different it feels compared to the malian n’goni!

Square Metal Contrabass Clarinet made by Thomas Lentze

Demonstration starts at 1:07 m. Thomas says a lot of really interesting stuff about his construction, but it's all in German. He has been building these square metal clarinets for years already.
