masenqo
The ''masenqo'' (also spelled ''masenko'', ''mesenqo'', ''mesenko'', ''masinko'', or ''masinqo'') is a single-stringed bowed lute commonly found in the musical traditions of Ethiopia and Eritrea.〔〕 As with the ''krar'', this instrument is used by Ethiopian minstrels called ''azmaris'' ("singer" in Amharic)
. Although it functions in a purely accompaniment capacity in songs, the masenqo requires considerable virtuosity,〔 as azmaris accompany themselves while singing.
==Construction and design==
The square- or diamond-shaped resonator is made of four small wooden boards glued together, then covered with a stretched parchment or rawhide. The single string is typically made of horse hair, and passes over a bridge. The instrument is tuned by means of a large tuning peg to fit the range of the singer's voice. It may be bowed by either the right or left hand, and the non-bow hand sits lightly on top of the upper part of the string.
