There seems to be an assumption that simple string instruments such as the ukeke were developed from the hunting bow. It seems certain that they are related, but it is just as likely that someone attached a cord to a stick for the purpose of making an interesting sound and then discovered (or someone else did) that it is possible to use the flexing of the stick to launch another stick from the cord.
Chicken and egg?
