These are made of wood, and consist of a 'tongue' that is fixed in a block that contains one or more contact microphones. The tongue is bowed with a conventional stringed instrument bow while simultaneously pressing down on the the tongue with another piece of shaped wood called a 'dax,' thus achieving various tonalities or notes. The tongue can also be excited by plucking. The shape of the tongue, and the type of wood also influence the sound. ]]></note></mads>
