Umbo lake ni kama bomba jembamba upande wa mdomoni na pana upande unaotokeasauti.
Inapatikana koteduniani.Hewa inapulizwa ndani kwamdomo kupitiashimo; mkondo wa hewa unapita kwenye kona kali ambako unaanza kutingatinga ukisababishanguzo ya hewa iliyopo ndani ya bomba kutingatinga pia; mitetemo hii nisauti.
Urefu wa bomba unafanyatabia ya sauti; kama ni fupi linatoa sauti ya juu; kama ni refu lina sauti ya chini.
Zumari nyingi huwa na mashimo kanda yanayofunikwa na kufunguliwa kwavidole. Kwa kufungua shimomchezaji anafupisha au kurefusha nguzo ya hewa ndani ya zumari inayotingatinga na kubadilisha sauti hivyo.
Kuna muundo kadhaa:
shimo la kupulizia liko upande wa pembeni wa filimbi
shimo liko mwanzoni wa bomba la filimbi
kuna bomba moja lenye mashimo ya pembeni kwa kubadilisha sauti
kuna mabomba bila mashimo ya pembeni yaliyounganishwa pamoja; kila filimbi ina sauti yake na mchezaji anateleza mdomo wake juu ya mashimo ya mabomba akipiga muziki yake.
