              <text>The sansa or ‘thumb piano’ is common across Africa. It is played by plucking the metal tongues over the wooden resonator to produce a pitched buzzing sound. This sansa was acquired on his travels by Australian composer and pianist Percy Grainger, who sent it back to the Conservatorium of Music in Melbourne for the use of staff and students, probably around 1912.</text>
