The coconut base represents the shoulder and the strings represent the nerves.

Kamaicha Details (Suresh Godara)

The seventeen-string kamaicha, or khamaycha, is a string instrument constructed out of a piece of mango wood, featuring a round resonator covered in goat leather.

Three of its strings are made of goat intestine, while the other fourteen are made of steel. It is one of the oldest string instruments in the world played with a bow. It is a key presence in Rajasthani folk music.veer
