But musicains that defy the genre label like Steve Vai and Joe Saturini have signature Ibanez guitars. Ibanez is not a bad endorsemant by any means.

Musical Instrument by Mio-san. Made from a picture. I used a nice blue sky paper found on the Internet. It took me some time to find this, the pyramid gave the most problems but I did find it after a evening session folding :)

The Kamale (or Kamel) Ngoni (or Young Man's Harp) is found in the Wassoulou region of southern Mali. It normally has 8 to 12 strings. The instrument developed from the traditional 6 string Donso Ngoni (or Hunter's Harp), and is not to be confused with the Jeli Ngoni which is a Spike Bowl Lute. The Kamale Ngoni is similar to the Kora in that it has a calabash gourd body, hand posts, notched bridge, and neck. It differs in having fewer strings (the Kora usually as 21) and a smaller calabash (13 to 15 inches in diameter compared to 19 to 21).
Kamale Ngonis are assigned the number 323-5 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
3 = Chordophone. Instruments where the sound is primarily produced by the vibration of a string or strings that are stretched between fixed points.
32 = Composite Chordophone. Acoustic and electro-acoustic instruments which have a resonator as an integral part of the instrument, and solid-body electric chordophones.
323 = Instruments where the plane of the strings lies at right angles to the sound-table; a line joining the lower ends of the strings would be perpendicular to the neck.
323-5 = Strings sounded by bare fingers.
