The sound board of the instrument is split laterally and longitudinal with the use of strips of darker wood, probably searching for a particular sound instead of an ornament to use. The appearance is analogous to a bandolin that is found in Ecuador, the Peruvian Marimacho Bandurria and specifically the ‘Laud’.
