A full size kora is a 21-string harp that looks more like a guitar but sounds like a harp. It is a tradtional instrument best known in Senegal but also played in Mali and some other parts of that West African region. This is a miniature, "toy" size version of the real thing. It follows very closely the structure of a real kora. It is not designed to be a real musical instrument. It measures: 12 1/2" (32 cm)
