It may be a language known as Swazi from Swaziland, South Africa and this may just be an identification notice like \"made in the USA\". For example, \"Native Swazi Instrument\" or something of that nature.

Hope it helps.

natur-schwarze Karnies


Explanation:
Wenn man einmal die vs mit einem r ersetzt, das c in das shwarz einfügt und den Bindestrich versetzt, kommt 'natur-schwarze Karnies' dabei heraus. Vielleicht natur-schwarze Leisten? Ich gebe zu, es ist weit hergeholt, aber nichts ist bekanntlich unmöglich. Ist nichts über das Alter oder über das Herkunftsland des Instrumentes bekannt?

Viel Spaß!!!
