N'vike The n'vike (alternately ''novike'', ''n'vique'', ''nobike'') is a bowed string instrument native to the indigenous Toba people of the Gran Chaco of South America. The term ''n'vike'' has no equivalent in English, but refers to the act of a jaguar sharpening his claws on a tree. ==Form== The novike is a monochord which is bowed with a string bow, called ''checne'c''. Originally, the string (''lket'') was made from the mane of a peccary, but after the arrival of the Spanish horsehair replaced it. The monochord is placed atop a resonating body such as a calabaza gourd, an aramadillo shell, or a sheet of tin with an opening in the top.
