Comments:

The audio samples were directly extracted from John Blacking's recordings of Simoni Zulu's on the "Music from Petauke of Northern Rhodesia Vol.2" album. On each sample I've tried to remove as many spectral components of other notes played at the same time as possible.
LU6, LU7, and RU1' keys (in Pitch.1 notation) are not in the recordings and were synthesized from their octave counterparts.
