This is another type of mbira
specific to the Shona People of Zimbabwe (Rhodesia).
This one has 25 keys and is played with the thumbs
of both hands plucking down and the index fingers
of both hands plucking up from underneath the outside
keys on either side. This is a difference with mbira
dza vadzimu where the left hand index finger is
not used. The matepe pictured here was made
by Chaka Chawasarira.
