==Konso==
[[File:Kora-Player2.jpg|thumb|[[Griot|Jali]] Fily Sissokho playing a [[kora (instrument)|kora]] tuned with konso (braided leather ring) string terminations.]]
The konso system is traditionally used on [[kora (instrument)|koras]]. It consists of braided leather rings that wrap around the neck of the instrument. The rings are pulled along the neck of the instrument to change string tension. It can be quick to adjust but requires a fair degree of strength.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://dennishavlena.com/newneck.htm | title=Make an easier-to-tune replacement neck for a leather-ring (Konso) African Kora neck }}</ref>
