I can hardly find anything on this instrument, although it sounds a bit like a Digeridoo. I do see some small indication that it's real, though [1]. Anyone have a clue? Friday 05:32, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I came across it when it was listed for Speedy deletion. I couldn't find much, but I found enough to realise it was a legitimate article. Sorry can't help much more :( Manning 05:41, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

Merger proposal[edit]

Is there any difference between a Pate and a Lali apart from language and country? In any case, the two articles should be merged. ··gracefool 💬 14:09, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as the drums have distinct culture significance in their respective countries, which is (and can be further) discussed in the individual articles. Klbrain (talk) 13:47, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
