I assume that that the Baladau was called Djembiah by some people and some other people kept the names apart?
Just like if you ask people today what things are called and you get several different answers for the same item.
It's probably only important with "strict names" for collectors, scientists and people who buy, or ask for, something from a distance?

Hi Michael,

I agree, but it doesn't make it any easier when people call it this and other people call it that.
So it is good to have "strict names", I just have to find out still!
