👉 Tuny is a type of musical instrument that originated in West Africa. It is also known as a "tandu" or "tandu-kan" in Wolof, the language spoken in Senegal and Gambia. The tuny is played using a wooden stick called a "karka" which is used to strike the string of the instrument. Tunys are often played in traditional music groups known as "taar" or "taar-e-tar".
