Gussikow possessed a remarkable technique that permitted the musical instrument which he brought into fashion to be appreciated for all its worth. The whole is laid upon bands of straw designed to bring out the sounds and render them stronger and purer. The sounds are produced by striking the pieces of wood with a couple of small hammers.
